Why Most People Are Boring to Talk To

Most conversations die because nobody drives them. You ask "how was your weekend?" — they say fine. You nod. It's over before it started.
In this video I break down the one conversational shift that changed how I talk to people — including strangers at work. It's not about being funnier or more outgoing. It's about asking questions you'd actually want the answer to, even when the topic doesn't interest you.
I walk through real examples: the receptionist conversation, the TV show tangent, the 4-hour hypothetical — and why each one works. This isn't theory. It's something I use regularly as someone who's naturally more comfortable in silence than small talk.
If you're an introvert, socially anxious, or just tired of conversations going nowhere — this is practical and it actually works.
