On a daily basis you interact with various people. Some of them would show their interest in the project or activities you are involved in. Some of them would be the people you report to. Some of them would have no interest in your activities but still may expect something from you.

Sometimes two or X of you would be interacting smoothly. Your conversation would be going easy like a new oil flowing along the pipes of a ‘healthy’ engine. You may feel excitement as you see their interest, by asking you the questions. Sometimes their questions may make you thinking before you answering them which is a good sign of the interest. Naturally, you would be showing your own interest in them too.

With another person you both might be shooting topics. Your companion might pronoun the epithets like ‘hmm’, ‘interesting’ but not asking even a dime of questions to you. Even though you seem like having a conversation with them, you may feel awkward, since the actual dialogue is not there.

What you do when the actual dialog does not seem to work but you have to work with those people and maintain communication with them?
