Recently, I introduced myself to a judge of the pageant I had just watched, and after we spoke for a while, she applauded me on not just saying my name and thanking her for judging. I had a real conversation with her and asked her about certain things on her bio to get to know her better. She really appreciated me listening to her and being genuine in our conversation. She then wished me luck and said she was rooting for me in the Miss Alabama pageant this upcoming June. What I've learned from meeting new people, is that everyone's favorite person to talk about is themselves. Not in a conceited way, but in a comfortable way. It's an easy topic to talk about, and the more comfortable you make the other person when you speak with them, the more apt they are to be relaxed and real with you.
