I wanted to ask what sticks in your minds regarding the various people you've crossed paths with throughout your lives—specifically, what made them unique
in their communication styles, and which of those quirks left you with a positive or charming impression?
Whether they had specific catchphrases, little verbal tics, or certain mannerisms. ☕
To get the ball rolling:
There was this guy back in high school who would always start a sentence by using someone's name, and then invariably end the sentence by repeating that same name at the very end.
I also find it quite endearing when people use collective language—that "we" mentality, saying things like "how are we doing?" or "where are we headed?" It immediately fosters a sense of solidarity. 🤔
I remember a friend of mine used to do this
whenever he met a woman; he'd ask, "So, are we married yet?" To which one lady once replied, "No, we aren't married." 🤣 He really stuck in my memory because of that little "we," which subtly implies everyone is part of the conversation.
Do any of you have examples of communication styles that had a positive impact on you?
What specifically makes certain people memorable to you?
It’s honestly infuriating—it triggers my allergies instantly. I can't stand it. Every time I see someone acting like that, my first thought is, "Oh, please, stop trying so hard to be charming."
