@Umer

Number 1: That’s me. Inherited this from my dad. And my son is pretty much carrying on with the tradition.
Number 2: I do try to involve them into the conversation by directly addressing them. But I don’t force it.
Number 3: Even my kids are not allowed to touch my mobile phone. Unless I instruct them to do so. Doosron ke bache to duur ki baat.

I like such people.
1- you learn about new things and more about them when they are talkative
2- it feels easier to talk for a quiet person when he /she is being addressed and don’t feel awkward once they’ve warmed up.
3- Being firm is good.
