A very insightful read. I realized that I exhibit some of these traits. That explains why I attract people.

Well written Alex. Makes me think about how the best conversationalists are those who talk the least. Also, the interruption point hit home. In my corporate job I've often been interrupted at meetings by insecure people, mostly men.
