Conversation tends to flow naturally<\/span>\u00a0for hours with\u00a0<\/span>the people we’ve already built relationships with. When it comes to<\/span>\u00a0friends,\u00a0<\/span>family<\/span>, or\u00a0<\/span>our significant others, we learn how to best navigate conversations with the leading people in our lives but with other people, this doesn\u2019t always come naturally. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Some people are simply trickier to talk to or perhaps it\u2019s us who gets shy when we\u2019re around those who aren\u2019t familiar.<\/strong> It can be<\/span>\u00a0difficult t<\/span>o find the right things to say to a\u00a0<\/span>person\u00a0<\/span>we<\/span>\u00a0hardly know even for 10 minutes. If\u00a0<\/span>you find it hard talking to strangers<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>you\u2019re not alone and\u00a0<\/span>it\u2019s completely normal<\/span>\u00a0– many<\/span>\u00a0people face the very same dilemma that you do.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
For the people who\u00a0enjoy talking about the things that mean the most to them, momentary musings, life,\u00a0and relationships,\u00a0(introverts we\u2019re talking to you, small talk can feel\u00a0quite dull and\/ or uncomfortable.\u00a0We understand\u00a0the struggle, that\u2019s why we have compiled these\u00a012\u00a0secret hacks\u00a0to help\u00a0you always to know what to say in conversations.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
Whenever you’re stuck in\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>monotonous<\/span> chit-chat, try on these simple hacks after asking some too generic question like \u201cwhat\u2019s up?\u201d \u201cHow are you?\u201d etc. to shake up those long awkward pauses.<\/span><\/p>\n

The easiest way to get someone talking is to ask them about something they are passionate about; their goal, hobby, favorite place, or someone they love. When people talk about topics they love, they can keep going making the conversation flow more naturally. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
To find out what people are passionate about, ask questions like what somebody does during their free time, what hobbies or goals they might have. They may not open up all at once so, keep on asking them questions related to it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider admin_label=”Divider” _builder_version=”3.21.2″ locked=”on”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”Template 2″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ text_font=”Poppins||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”||||||||” hover_enabled=”0″ header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”26px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”on” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

We all have this tendency to zone out of any dull conversation and open windows of our minds to a memory, idea, or scenario. But if you are interested in keeping the conversation going, you must avoid letting your mind drift and actually listen to the person who is talking. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
The smooth talker is usually someone who remembers things about others and low and behold we usually find things out about other people through listening. <\/span><\/span>W<\/span><\/span>hen the other person is telling you about their family, work, etc. pay close attention to what <\/span><\/span>they are<\/span><\/span> saying, and instead of saying \u201chmm..<\/span><\/span>.,<\/span><\/span>\u201d ask related questions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The quickest way to bond with a stranger is if the answer\u00a0<\/span><\/span>to<\/span><\/span>\u00a0this question is somewhat of your interest. Let\u2019s say you ask someone about their favorite book? And the answer\u00a0<\/span><\/span>to<\/span><\/span>\u00a0that book is a song of ice and fire. Whoa! That\u2019s something you have read too. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
So, now you can go hours and hours about discussing different characters, scenes<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0and author. And the same goes for music, movies<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> and TV shows. Well, the best part is that people feel quite comfortable discussing these things even with someone they don’t know very well.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider admin_label=”Divider” _builder_version=”3.21.2″ locked=”on”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”Template 4″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ text_font=”Poppins||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”||||||||” hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”on” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Till now, we have put a lot of stress on asking interesting questions instead of generic ones. But these generic questions are always the ones that act as a conversation starter.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>W<\/span><\/span>henever you meet a new person at the party, keep on asking these generic questions until you stumble upon something interesting. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
Do not stress too much about what to ask and what not to. Just try to avoid questions that are too personal, that\u2019s all. And also, don\u2019t fret too much about putting words into the sentences to make it either funny or insightful. Be friendly, and that will work.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you want the other person to answer your questions other than \u201cFine,\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s good,\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s Okay,\u201d etc.\u00a0 You should avoid doing that too. The more you talk freely with them, the more they will open up to you. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
So even if they ask you about how is your job, instead of replying with it\u2019s going\u00a0<\/span><\/span>well<\/span><\/span>, add a bit detail of how much you love working for people in need or how stressful the accounting work is. This way they might be able to relate and will tell you about their work problems too.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This question may seem like a very generic question like asking someone what\u00a0<\/span><\/span>they doing these days are,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0but believe me<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0this question has a much\u00a0<\/span><\/span>strong<\/span><\/span>er effect. And it\u2019s because we don\u2019t talk about the important issues\u00a0<\/span><\/span>mostly<\/span><\/span> like we are always concerned about the job, college, health but we somehow forget to ask that how are you emotionally? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
What is the thing that bothers you? Are you tired of being so strong? What keeps you going?\u00a0 So when you ask a person about how is your life going, it gives an unintentional signal of asking them to <\/span><\/span>speak their inner truth.<\/span><\/span> And the probability of them opening up with you will be a lot more as compared to those basic questions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To key to a healthy conversation is that both individuals take an active part in it. So, when it\u2019s your turn to talk, and they ask you some questions about your last trip. It\u2019s okay if you tell them about how long your stay was and the places you have visited and even if you have one or two interesting incidents that took place. But don\u2019t overdo it. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
If, at any instance, you think that the other person is getting bored with the conversation skip your part and ask them about their latest trip. You know to make them talk because, to be honest, no one likes a self-absorbed person.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider admin_label=”Divider” _builder_version=”3.21.2″ locked=”on”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”Template 8″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ text_font=”Poppins||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”||||||||” hover_enabled=”0″ header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”26px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”on” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To carry on the small talks, you are supposed to make the other person\u00a0<\/span><\/span>an\u00a0<\/span><\/span>active part\u00a0<\/span><\/span>of<\/span><\/span>\u00a0the conversation<\/span><\/span>. So, what\u2019s better than asking them light questions about their past. Like where were they born or where they studied, what subjects they opt for etc. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
But remember not to ask too many personal questions. And if at any stage you feel that the person is a bit reluctant to answer, just back off. Because making them feel uncomfortable is the last thing you want to do.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With the ongoing craze of social media, there is always something new to talk about; the trending hashtag on Twitter, the new video on YouTube, <\/span><\/span>and any<\/span><\/span>\u00a0new meme on Facebook<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0etc. There is always something. So why not use these topics to start over your left off conversation with the stranger sitting next to you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

S<\/span><\/span>uppose you were asking about the other person’s interest, and it turned out to be racing cars, but unfortunately, it\u2019s not your domain. So instead of pretending that you know about it and nodding, you head continuously; be open about it. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
Say something like, \u201cOh! Well, that\u2019s something I don\u2019t know anything about it at all.\u201d\u00a0 This way maybe you move on to the next interest. Or you can also stick to this one and ask them to tell you the details about it for beginners.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Small talk can be boring<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> but it can be turned into something far more interesting when you ask people about their opinion on a certain topic. That\u2019s like opening up a gate for debate.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider admin_label=”Divider” _builder_version=”3.21.2″ locked=”on”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”Template 12″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ text_font=”Poppins||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”||||||||” hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”on” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
Whenever you are having\u00a0<\/span><\/span>a\u00a0<\/span><\/span>debate on a\u00a0<\/span><\/span>particular topic<\/span><\/span>, there will likely be someone who will hold an<\/span><\/span> opposite opinion to yours.<\/span><\/span> Understand that it is oka<\/span><\/span>y to hold different opinions because<\/span><\/span>\u00a0people are different. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
The opinion or moral ethics you hold is because of the environment you<\/span><\/span>\u00a0were<\/span><\/span>\u00a0brought up<\/span><\/span>\u00a0in<\/span><\/span>, the lessons you were taught as a kid, the books you read<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> and the friends you met. But in no way, it is going to be similar for others so, instead of panicking and stepping back into the awkward silence phase. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
You can think of the ways to counteract it by changing the subject gradually or questioning them about their stance etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Every individual is an interest<\/span><\/span>ing<\/span><\/span> book. So, reserve judgement about them<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> and try to find out a little bit more.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
