It is so easy to just sit and talk about ourself and our experiences. But showing interest in people can strengthen the relationship between anyone that you meet. Just like you like talking about yourself. Others enjoy the same thing. So the ability to listen and ask question, not for the sake of asking them to have them talk but to really want to know the answers, to actually want to know more about who or what someone is, is key to having a bond much stronger than acquaintances.
