Read the short excerpt below to answer Question 6.

There is an odd thing happening in conversations. When you meet someone new, the conversation is lopsided with only one person asking questions of the other. When an acquaintance or colleague is done answering the questions, they just walk away. It is unfulfilling for the person on the other side. It seems some are eager to tell their story. Some are willing to tell a lot about their weekend or viewpoint.
