Refusing to ever pause
This is one of easiest mistakes to make during conversations. You get carried away with yourself and then don’t let up. One idea bleeds into the next. Before you know it, the person standing in front of you has turned to stone.
Here’s how to fix it:
Actually pause. Take a breath every now and then. See point #7. If someone opens their mouth, and you’ve been talking a lot, then wrap up your story and let them interject something.
Practice asking more questions. Actually wait for an answer. Stop trying so hard to fill all the little gaps.
