Yeah, I've learned how to be someone people like to talk to, but I still don't often do it because it is exhausting. I learned a lot from my sister-in-law who is great at it and everybody loves talking to her, but she can get into a positive feedback loop where the interaction energizes her to keep it up, whereas for me, my reserves to keep it up deplete after an hour or so. Even she, though, will eventually get tired of doing it and is famous for suddenly disappearing and going to be in a room by herself to recharge. I think a key to her approach is she will sometimes make the story about her and let people pay her back for listening so well, and then just when they are losing interest, she'll flip it back to be about them. She and I can talk for hours though, because we know how to minimize the tiring part and make it more of a back and forth.
