It’s not always appropriate to be yourself. Sure, you should be honest about who you are and how you feel in most situations, but not necessarily when applying for a job or talking to your child’s school principal. Emphasize the similarities you have with those you’re talking to. Get the other person to talk about what they are interested in. If you want to get a good conversation going, try getting the other person to discuss their passion and they’ll have plenty to say, meaning you won’t have to keep the discussion going.
