My older brother is like this. He's a very extroverted person and is capable of connecting with people very easily, and the other party genuinly seems interested in the conversation.

I'm the polar opposite in that I'm introverted. For whatever reason, whenever I engage in conversation with someone I don't know I always assume that they'd like the interaction to end as soon as possible and that they're not interested in prolonged conversation with me.

One thing I notice is that whenever I'm walking with my brother in the street, whenever we're approached by someone, they'll always approach him for whatever reason. I tried to think of reasons why, but can't come up with anything. I'm taller than my brother (he's about 5'6" and I'm 5'9") so I'd assume that people would approach me first, but it's always him. Sometimes I feel like it has to do with face symmetry. My brother's face is fairly symmetric, whereas mine is slightly assymmetric in the jaw area. Maybe it makes people more responsive/comfortable?
