How To Be A Better Conversationalist

Advice for being more interesting

By nature, I have various bad conversational tendencies. When there’s a subject I’m interested in, I often want to monologue about it for minutes on end. This is a bad idea. Over the years, I think I’ve become a much better conversationalist, in part from picking up the conversational habits of very conversationally adept people (e.g. the friend I mention in this article with nearly limitless fluency and engagingness). Here is my advice for how you too can become a more interesting conversationalist.
