This is an important question.
Many people feel overlooked and left out.
We need to emphasize the fact that the secret of being interesting is to be interested. Quit worrying about people being interested in you and start working to develop your own interests, as much as you possibly can. We all know people who are interested only in themselves. In conversation, whatever subject you mention, this person is quick to top whatever you said with some personal experience. If you refer to a trip you made, the moment you pause, this person begins telling of a trip she made.
