6 tips to keep an interesting conversation
For most people, a nice chat is all they would want to keep. Fear of dying or having a boring conversation sometimes causes blockages and insecurities, especially among the most timid people. This can cause a major upset in relationships and in how one sees oneself.
Contrary to popular belief, keeping an interesting conversation is not a specific gift that only a few people have. Anyone can do this by following a few simple tips:
1. Use key questions
In order for the interlocutor to remain animated in telling his adventures, some questions can be asked by the listener: when, where, how and why. It seems to be a rule of a study of language, but these questions widen the conversation and make it wonderful, giving the opportunity for the person to tell about it without forgetting any details.
If the caller mentioned a trip, for example, whoever hears can show their interest and ask when it was, how the trip was and what was the reason. Details of locations can be revealed and keep a lively and interesting dialogue.
2. Common points
It is easy for the brain to find similarities in others. Talking with like-minded people is very enjoyable and the search for similar items is always favorable to start or extend a dialogue.
Observing others is part of human nature, and the next step would be to observe out loud, saying, “I like it too, I use it or I do it. Common interests are usually the champions in these conversations as musical tastes, books, sports, and others.
3. Differences
The differences can also keep the conversation intriguing and lively. Knowing things that most people do not know is a great way to broaden the knowledge of others.
But you have to be careful and not want to shed all the knowledge at once so that the subject does not become heavy or that it shows superiority. Not everyone is pleased by free classes in moments of relaxation or leisure.
4. Questions about the other
Questions about preferences or about family members are simple and can keep a pleasant conversation for hours. People usually like to talk about themselves, their particularities and will wish to know each other on the same levels.
A dialogue will be maintained without much effort remaining pleasant. Very intrusive questions such as salary, marital status or academic background can be avoided at least until there is a solid bond of friendship.
5. Current knowledge
People talk about what they live with. Being aware of what is happening in the world, in your country or city, without necessarily being a deep connoisseur of the subject is important to hold a conversation.
The interlocutor may want to talk about a subject and if the listener does not know anything about it it may seem strange or discouraging and until the subject is finished.
Before leaving to make new friends is good to be prepared with some current issues because this knowledge also demonstrates intelligence and interest in society.
6. Know how to deal with silence
For many, it is a very embarrassing moment that, even lasting a few seconds, seems like an eternity. Keeping cool and seeking to use one of the other items above will help break the discomfort.
If training is necessary before entering into the field of pleasant conversation, close family and friends can help. A mirror can also be quite useful.
Regardless of how it will be done, being prepared and excited to make new friends will be a great start to an interesting dialogue.
