Person A: “I, I, I, me, me, me.”
Person B: “Fascinating! Because I, I, I, me, me, me.”
Person A: “That’s so true, reminds me of… I, I, I, me, me, me.”
This is how most ‘conversations’ go: two people taking turns talking about themselves.
It’s not surprising. We’re wired to think about ourselves most of the time.
But when all we do is talk about ourselves, we miss out on something important.
We don’t learn anything new.
We don’t grow.
We don’t build real connections.

Person C makes conversations meaningful.
If someone brings up a topic, they ask questions like:
“What does that mean to you?”
“How did you get into that?”
“What do you like most about it?”
Person C doesn’t just talk—they listen and learn.
This doesn’t mean you should never talk about yourself. Conversations are a two-way street. But when you go into a conversation with curiosity and a desire to learn, amazing things happen:
🌟 You learn new things.
👀 You see the world in new ways.
❤️ You build stronger relationships.
🤝 People feel heard and valued.
Next time you’re in a conversation, pause and ask yourself:

This small change can make a big difference.
