📱 “Why You Suck at Talking (and How Your Phone’s Making It Worse)” | Sober Psychology Ep. 34 Finale Short – Tip 2 & 3 Tip 2: Stop Dominating the Conversation Let’s talk facts—even if they hurt. A 2018 study from the Journal of Language and Social Psychology found that people who talk 80% of the time are seen as less likable and less trustworthy. And yeah… I’ve been that guy. If you're the dude at the party rambling about your crypto portfolio while everyone’s scanning for an exit—you are the problem. 🛑 This is not your personal TED Talk. Conversation is a two-way street, not a monologue with a captive audience. Tip 3: PUT. THE. PHONE. AWAY. There’s a 2020 study from the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships that found even just having your phone visible during a conversation reduces trust and connection. Visible. Not using it. Just existing on the table. So if you’re checking notifications mid-sentence, the message you’re sending is: “You’re less interesting than my IG feed.” 🥶 Savage? Sure. True? 100%. You’re not listening—you’re just waiting to flex. So: 📵 Put it down. 🧠 Shut up a little. 👂 Actually listen. Do that—and suddenly, you're the person people want to talk to.

We're diving into three actionable, science-backed ways to become the kind of person people actually want to talk to. 💡 Tip 1: Master the Art of Mirroring Straight out of NLP (that’s Neuro-Linguistic Programming, for my fellow acronym nerds): A 2018 study in Psychological Science found that subtly mimicking someone’s tone, energy, or body language helps them feel more connected to you. They lean back? You relax. They’re high energy? Crank it up a bit. Hands flying? Get your gestures going. 🧠 It’s like syncing your Spotify playlist to their vibe. Just don’t go full imitation-mode or you’ll look like a malfunctioning AI. ✅ Bonus Tip: Mirroring builds trust without a single word. It’s primal, it’s subconscious, and it works. We’re wired to trust people who feel familiar—so lean into that familiarity. And stay tuned for tips 2 and 3—we're just getting warmed up.
