Are you intimidated by the thought of trying to carry on a
conversation, and even more afraid of being seen as boring or
unoriginal?
Have you ever frozen up in the middle of a conversation, not
knowing what to say next?
Do you feel that no one is listening to you when you're speaking
to them?
If you can identify with any of the above statements, keep
reading, as becoming an interesting conversationalist is
extremely easy.
No, you don't have to have anything interesting to say, you
don't have to be funny or the life of the party, and you don't
have to be extremely outgoing (although all of those things can
help).
Even if you can't initiate a conversation very well, if you can
ask someone the right questions, you'll become known as one of
the best and most interesting conversationalists around.
Well then, if all that's involved is being able to ask the right
questions, it begs the very important question, "What are the
right questions to ask?"
Glad you asked.
People absolutely love to talk about themselves, and therein
lies the key to becoming an interesting conversationalist -
learning to ask people questions about themselves.
After all, it's a subject that they enjoy talking about and find
interesting.
So all you need to do to carry on a great conversation that will
be interesting for them is to ask them questions about
themselves.
That will always get the ball rolling as far as conversation is
concerned. Even if your introduction or the transition from your
introduction into the conversation was a little awkward, they
will absolutely love you for showing an interest in them, and
giving them an opportunity to talk about themselves.
As you ask them questions about themselves, be on the lookout
for any common interests that you may have with them, as this
will open up an conversation that is of interest and a lot more
relaxed and personal for both of you.
Asking them questions about themselves, their work, their kids,
or their lives in general (be sure not to get too personal) will
leave them thinking that you are the most interesting person in
the world.
Once your conversation with them is finished, they will walk
away with a great impression of you and will be looking forward
to the next conversation the two of you will have.
