article: Say that you just met your friend for lunch and you're worried that you may have dominated the conversation ... again. Replay the lunch date in your head, resisting the urge to defend yourself. This will help you to see clearly whether or not you talk a lot in comparison to other people. Ask yourself some pointed questions, like:  "Who did most of the talking?" "Did we talk more about me or about my friend?" "How often did I interrupt my friend?" Think about the way you talk to everyone, including—but not limited to—your boss, co-workers, mother, and the restaurant staff. Do you open the conversation by jumping in with a funny story of your life and your observations without being asked? Or are you likely to ask someone a question and let them tell you a story, tell you about their life and their observations? Conversation is a balance between both participants, and although you should take Sheryl Sandberg's advice and lean in, you hog the limelight when you focus too much on yourself. The victims of rumors are sometimes people that most people find annoying. Though rumors can be about anyone since a lot of people find it satisfying to complain about people.
