^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.^
