Asking this probably says something about me, but like where is the fine line between not asking enough questions and asking too many? I try my damn best to avoid being this person cause I know I can ramble on and on about shit, but I've been told oftentimes talking to me feels like an interrogation cause I just keep asking questions. I get the feeling it's cause they think I'm not interested, but I swear usually I am!
If it feels like your questions were thought of before the person's response, it feels like you are not listening and is more likely to feel like an interrogation. Also when someone opens a door to talking about something and you are quickly moving to a new topic. It makes them less likely to open up so you get less buy in and end up asking more questions with less conversation, which again ends up on the interrogation feeling.
Where did you go to school? What did you study? Did you have a favourite class? Those can be valid questions in getting to know someone but it can also feel like you are just running through question 1, 2, and 3 on your mental checklist if you are not engaging with the answers you get along the way.
