When you’re the type of person to ask questions all the time, you may come off as impersonal or deflective.

When you’re the type of person to never ask questions, you may come off as unconversational or alternatively the type of person who can’t shut up.

The hard part is finding the right ratio of questions to assertions, and understanding that different situations require different ratios.
