On the most basic level, I define it as someone who converses in such a way that the other person genuinely enjoys conversing with them.That depends on how do you define "good conversationalist", since this is very subjective term.
Many people prize certain people as very good conversationalists but I don't find myself impressed at all.
Do you really think this is necessary for good conversation? It is something I find hard to do and very draining. There must be a very good reason for it. Now tailoring your style to the occasion is a bit easier, say a formal presentation vs. a casual discussion vs. a business transaction over the phone.Sometimes, I think it's not necessarily possessing certain 'conversational skills' as much as being able to match your style of conversation to your audience or partner in a way that facilitates conversational flow.

Most of us are good conversationalists on the telephone because the phone doesn't work if only one person is talking without reply.
Yes, on the phone we talk and listen, turn and turn about.
And we used to cure neurotic children by speaking to them on the telephone and they automatically responded.
Are you a good conversationalist on the telephone? Or do you hate the telephone? Is the hatred of the telephone a sign of neurosis?
Except that people don't even speak on phones anymore. They just text...sometimes. Most of the time that's too much to ask. Everyone just leaves messages on Discord for people to eventually gt around to in the next few days. I think it's a sign of...something. In almost every group of friends I've had I have been the designated phone public speaker. Every one one of my friends was too afraid to call anyone not close to them; customer service, ordering a pizza ect. These were the same people who refused to go up to the counter and order for themselves at fast-food places. I honestly found it really pathetic. I know that some people have legitimate anxiety of strangers but none of these people did. Hell, I think I had more a of a reason. I don''t understand why it seems that the majority of people are so terrified of interacting with others.

I despise the phone. And no, I don't text on one instead of talking. I have no problem speaking to someone in person, but if that is impractical, I prefer email. It doesn't intrude. I can write it when it is convenient for me, and the other person can read it when it is convenient for them, take some time to consider my message, and then reply. No rush. Plenty of time to think before you type.Most of us are good conversationalists on the telephone because the phone doesn't work if only one person is talking without reply.
