50:50? 60:40? 70:30?

When I talk with my students at work, I make sure the conversation is 80/20. Which means that they talk 80% of the time and I talk 20%... this way you get to know the student more. In the end, I should know more about the student than they know about me.
This got me thinking...
What about our conversations with our friends. Old ones, new ones, future ones... how much do I really know about my friends and how much do they know about me?
I am going to focus on this and I want all of my friendships 50:50.
So the next time you are talking to a friend, think about the ratio of your friendship. How much do you know about them and how much do they know about you.
