^People Paradox: The less you try to talk to someone, the more
interesting you become. The more you try to talk to someone, the
less interesting you become. Want someone to leave you alone?
Talk to them so much it bores them. Want someone to get
interested in the nitty-gritty details of your life? Do your
best to ignore them - they'll invent the details you don't
provide. It's a very odd fact of human behavior.^
