Want people to find you interesting?

Yes, when you are with people whose interest you want to catch, the best you can do is to keep quiet.

Why?

Silence, in these cases, offers some advantages:

• it keeps you safe from saying things that do not fit the situation;
• it allows you to get useful information from the very person whose attention you want to catch;
• it makes your interlocutor feel like the focus of your attention.

In short, it is a case of saying that silence is gold: and

if you want to attract people’s interest,
you must be prepared to give it.

Don’t you think so?
