The Power of Keeping Your Mouth Shut in a World That Won’t Stop Talking
The Art of Manliness
Avoid Conversational Narcissism
- Be mindful of conversational narcissism, the tendency to subtly shift conversations towards oneself.
- Avoid shift responses, where you turn the focus back to yourself instead of engaging with the other person's topic.
- Instead of relating someone's comment back to your own experience, ask follow-up questions to show genuine interest.
- For example, if someone says they're thinking of buying a car, ask them what kind they're considering, instead of launching into a story about your own car-buying plans.
- By actively listening and asking questions, you can create a more engaging and fulfilling conversation for both parties.
