Social Skills Mastery

47. A Case for Keeping Conversations Brief (aka How to not be a long-talker)


Listen Later

A common misconception is that talking ad nauseam and being long-winded makes a person appear knowledgeable, and nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact, it’s often a telltale sign of nervousness and a lack of self-awareness.

What happens is a thought enters your mind and before you’ve had a chance to fully process it or determine what, if anything should be said, you set off on a diatribe that includes every detail you know — and that’s overkill. And everyone recognizes it, except unfortunately the person committing the transgression. Today’s episode is all about creating clarity with conversation points and how to be both brief and the most interesting person in the room.
