If you ask questions about people and let them talk about themselves for awhile they will leave the interaction thinking “I like that guy”.
If you talk about yourself they will leave the interaction thinking “I don’t really like that guy”

It’s so true, and so rare. People rarely feel “seen.”
Most of Los Angeles needs to hear this
Very true. Unless they don’t stop talk about themselves 😁
if you ask questions you are not projecting (leaking) and people reveal their hand willingly.
You also learn a lot more being this way
Unless, of course, they really like what "that guy" had to say
Then they will ask questions too
Sure.
But really what we all want is mutually beneficial interactions.
To exchange deep truth, humor, love.
It’s what all the rest of these shenanigans seeking.
You have to be genuine too, otherwise it will feel mechanical or like an interrogation. And genuine interest in others doesn't happen when one isn't internally contented and centered.
Interesting point! It’s true that people tend to feel more comfortable and appreciated when they can talk about themselves. However, I think sharing a bit about yourself can also help build a genuine connection, as long as it doesn’t become self-centered. Balance is key!
Asking good questions is an underrated skill 🤙🏽
Simple but true 👍
