Would You Know If You Were Boring?

Would you know if you were boring? Almost nobody has ever told you, and the people who smile and nod might just be polite. A look at why we're so bad at judging ourselves, what research says about how conversations really go, and the simple habit that makes people enjoy talking with you. Topics covered: the better-than-average effect, the Dunning-Kruger effect, how conversations actually end, the Johari window and your blind spot, the spotlight effect, the liking gap, why follow-up questions work, and what the Harvard Study of Adult Development found about relationships.
