Quote by Lisa Kirk

A gossip is one who talks to you about others; a bore is one who talks to you about himself; and a brilliant conversationalist is one who talks to you about yourself.

A gossip is one who talks to you about others; a bore is one

Summary

By focusing on the other person, this type of conversationalist creates a more enjoyable and engaging interaction.
