The most important thing to know is that you don't have to always be the one keeping the conversation going. If you're the only one asking questions theres a big chance the other person simply doesn't want to talk to you, so go find someone who does, you'll have a much better time.

@thederpydude2088

I'm not that skilled in conversations either, but I think I probably just need to let myself experience it more so I can get used to the nuances. I have heard the skill of conversing compared to the skill of speaking in a language, and I think that is somewhat of an accurate comparison because it's kinda something you have to get used to. A baby learns language through its exposure to it, and I think the skill of conversation works somewhat similarly, so if you haven't had a lot of experience with it in the past, you might have to let yourself spend more time with it to be able to learn the things that work and the things that don't.

The issue isn't that people are unattentive, but that they just don't have enough experience in talking to strangers and get overwhelmed by overthinking. With practice they can get more used to talking to strangers, but there needs to be a starting point, these videos help people get a foothold in conversations in the beginning of their self improvement journey and after a while when they get more comfortable, conversations become much easier.

relafen66 The best way to get out of it is to shift your thinking. Instead of asking them about facts, ask them about perspective. For example, in the teacher scenario they gave, you, as a (presumably non-) teacher could benefit from their unique perspective on adding/taking away the arts, common core, etc. I met an old man with a no-till farming hat on, and asked him to explain the process. Even if they're ranting about something, it means you're paying attention to something they care about, listening when they have a lot to say, and you'll learn something in the process.

This is one of the best conversation guides I’ve ever seen on YT! Well structured, easy to follow, concrete topics suggested!

The best advice I have is to only say positive things and just talk about the first thing that comes to your mind. The main reason that people run out of things to say is that they are deleting what not to say in their heads. The more you think about it the more you are overthinking. If they don't like you they don't like you, who cares. It took me forever to figure this out.

First thing coming to mind with Person A: "Wow, your hair is so long. Have you always kept it that way?" First thing with Person B: "I see you are wearing a red shirt. Red really stands out. Do you like wearing red more than other colors?" First thing C: "Ah, petite build, yeah, I definitely relate to the slender element. Do you have a petite family too?" First Thing D: "I suffer from social anxiety and don't know what to say sometimes, but I got advice to just say the first thing that comes to mind. What do you think?" I'll tell you: All four likely think I'm a freaking creep. Word spreads at the company, school (especially school), org, group, etc., and now after probably even just two or three of these four interactions I'm toast socially and conceivably in my career progression, academic rep, etc. The point of not overthinking is valid, but underthinking is most definitely much worse.

I find one of my biggest turnoffs is people who almost immediately ask what you do for a living as soon as they meet you or very quickly after a few other questions. I prefer someone who says something about me personally (positive of course) or ask me about hobbies and other interests I have outside of work. These are the basis friendships and relationships are really based on. People who ask what you do for a living in my eyes are usually those who have no life or really any interests outside of work, those trying to impress you with their hi status job/career or gold diggers looking for a potential mate with 💸 to support them in an extravagant lifestyle.

Some people find "What do you do for a living?" actually an offensive question. Especially if they are someone like a housewife, are unemployed, or don't like talking about their job, you're basically forcing them to say "nothing" or talk about a topic they hate, which then again makes them feel bad.

I imagine me with the Family topic like: Me: Do you have Kids? Stranger: No. Me: Want some?

I needed this for talking to certain people. Sometimes it'll start out great, and then end awkwardly, because I didn't frame it right.

3:10 Never ask a teacher "What school do you teach at?" unless you want to get corrected. Instead, ask "At what school do you teach?" Better yet, "Where do you teach?" You never end a sentence with a preposition.

Saying something stupid like "You look like you come from a big family", will make it obvious that you're trying to make small talk, and terrible at it. Like when a bad salesman is trying his rehearsed pitch and you know where it's headed even before he finishes his first sentence.

Daniel Chang Yeah but he means small talk that makes you want to never talk to that person again. You want to have an interesting conversation, not something boring that's the same bullshit that you get asked by random people that you don't give a shit about. And those lines make the conversation sound forced, as much as this video is trying to be helpful.

Yeah but on the other hand, you can ask a seemingly dumb question that then starts a chain reaction of new conversation topics. Sure, maybe that sounds a bit contrived, however everything you say doesn't need to be some amazing, deep, thoughtful shit.

This whole video would make your convo sound like a rehearsed and stilted sales pitch tbf...

I'm very bad at social, like really bad. But one thing I noticed that works is trying to understand the other person. So like why questions, how they think, their thoughts on a matter. It makes the other person feel like you care about them which in turn makes them care about you. It also helps alleviate some of the boredom I feel with casual surface level conversation.

Thanks for making this video. I was quite sad but then i started reading these comments and i had never laughed so hard while being alone before ever. This comment section is a laughter pill. By the way , do you have a family?

I wasn't afraid about getting lost of running topics in conversation. But I had started one relationship where she was initially very interested in me and she got into relationship with me. But there were many awkward silences in the later stage. Mostly we didn't had much of anything to talk about, and she left me for that. And sometimes I believe it's my problem and I was the one because of which we didn't had topics to talk and now it is one of my worst fears of not having things to talk. Even tho I'm able to talk for long with my best friends:)

Silence isnt awkward, it shows the person is appropriately analyzing my last bit of speech and fomring a response based on my whole message, when i get too fast replies it implies the other person is thinking more of their part of the convo then what im saying. It should be 50/50
