I can get people to tell me their life story and trauma within 10 minutes of meeting them.
Someone tell me what psychology trick I'm doing so I can stop doing it!!!!
I have no idea why but this happens with most people in my family and we can even trace it back to my great grandma.
I think it does come down to listening actively, but also by sharing a sense of openness and vulnerability. When you're honest about yourself with others, they're more likely to be honest with you.
It's genetic?
Thank you for the reaction image and good luck with knowing too much about the people around you
