    One tip that I got that I've always found helpful is to make confirming statements or questions. For example, if someone tells you a story, in a pause, you say something like, "So you were upset because they wouldn't listen." And they'll usually go "Yes! Exactly!" and then go on with their story, usually with renewed happiness and energy, b/c they feel heard and understood. It helps with active listening, and I feel rewarded when they're like "yes, you get me!" Plus, usually, most decent people will want to return the favor and will ask questions about yourself. Invest in them first and they will invest in you.

    As an introvert this trick helps aloooooot. All i do is listening and sometimes repeating what they said as a form of question and they confirm to me and keep on talking and i prefer keep listening #However, when I feel comfortable with someone I open up to start my own conversation and subject ( although im an introvert the first Method of just listening and confirming to the person talking to me helped me learn how to build my own conversation)

    I never liked small talk. But now that I know that it's an opportunity to get to understand a person's conversational style, it makes so much sense to me, and I can't wait to have a small talk now. Also I'm one of those people that kills the momentum of a conversation by letting people know that I've already seen or heard what they are saying. Now I know better! Thank you so much, Ms. Jamila!

    German here: I totally agree with everything you've said, especially about culture. We in Germany don't enjoy empty talk and I often get very confused if not frustrated by exchange students from different cultures. When I get asked how I am, I answer honestly, it isn't just an empty phrase in Germany. People from the US for example tend to be a bit taken back by this honest answer and don't know how to continue the conversation. Mind you, I'm not talking about any serious or personal problems, but I'll answer with my honest feelings. I even experienced that the person asking me was obviously not interested in an answer - any answer. That was very rude. I'm not the best at small talk, but if I ask someone a question, I look at them and acknoledge their answer. Especially since I was the one initiating the conversation in that situation.

    I have spent a lot of time with Germans and initially I thought they were too direct and straightforward. Which of course is a good thing but sometimes in a social setting we are required to have a light conversation and when talking to a German, you better prepare yourself for some harsh truth right away. I find that pretty endearing now, I like their honesty and not the need to sugarcoat everything. It is not always the most appropriate thing but it’s very authentic

    Thank you for this! One thing that we have noticed in our lives, my husband and I, at almost 59 years old, is that most people don’t know how to ask questions. We find it very sad that people typically only want to talk about themselves and it never even occurs to them to ask questions of the other person. If you are shy or introverted or want to start out a conversation really well, ask questions! It shows the person that you’re interested in them, and then you can respond off things that they answer. And then pray they will be other-centered enough to ask you a question too! We think this is now a lost art… But we press on , hoping to show others by just doing!

    Very important topic. My husband is a social extrovert who takes over conversations; he's Australian, and very funny with his stories, but doesn't allow anyone else to tell theirs. I can't get a word in edgewise - he even interrupts people with another of his stories. I see their frustration because I feel it myself - most of the time I don't even bother sharing anything with him because he doesn't listen or just talks over me. I try to be an active listener with people but I'm amazed whenever anyone actually listens to me or asks me questions.

    Talk to him about it and then have a signal when he does it to other people. Arnold Schwarzenegger had a handler who stood behind him when he greeted people and gave his upper arm two squeezes when it was time to move on to the next person. Sal Maniscalco did a comedy skit about it. It’s on KZread. You could give two squeezes when your husband needs to stop and take an interest in what the other person has to say.

    Different ethnic groups and regions in America have their own rules for small talk. As a New Yorker, I have to navigate so many because typically, everyone is from somewhere else. I’ve found that for people born in the U.S., their propensity for and style of small talk can reflect both their ethnic background and the city/state in which they reside. And then immigrants and visitors have their own differences. I feel like participating in small talk, especially in NYC, requires a sixth sense.

    Thank you for this. I especially enjoyed learning the purpose of small talk and how to "volley". I would caution against using someone's name too often, though. I was in a conversation with an acquaintance, and she used my name four or five times during a 10-minute timespan. Each time she said my name, it felt as if she was poking me with her finger. It was irritating. My name's a spice, not the main course, lol!

    Really appreciated your video, thank you! I find "Being interested, rather than interesting" is really key. I see small talk as a way to establish a connection with someone--whether we end up getting into a deeper conversation or not. And I try to establish this connection is by sending love to the other person. This love allows me to be interested, find appropriate topics or questions to get started with, and it all goes from there. Maybe I'll get some love back, and then we may have the beginnings of a lasting bond and friendship with the person.

    With me the first question people ask is “where are you from” which for me is a very intrusive question. People have their biases about cultures or nationalities, therefore asking about your nationality right away is inappropriate. Unfortunately, I’m asked this question every single day no matter where I go to. it is not a curiosity question as many people think. It goes deep down to categorize an individual. I can be from any culture but it doesn’t mean I need to be put in a box based on where I’m from right in the beginning of conversation.

    I agree, it is a rude question. Apparently, even the cashiers at the grocery store can't ring my items if they don't know where am I originally from. So I had to learn how to dodge that question without being rude. These days, I just say that although I believe they want to be friendly, I consider the question a little too personal and I'd rather not share my origins with them, but we can talk about the items I picked from the store if they're interested in having a conversation with me. Usually, they don't want to continue, so that is a good way for both parties to leave the situation with their dignity intact.😄

    I get what u mean. That is true about a lot of ppl having their biases about certain cultures. Not cool when ppl do that and keep one in the same box, especially when I am a multifaceted individual lol. I get asked that a lot, too. Sometimes ppl ask me that to see what ethnicity I am or just as one of those few starting questions just as general conversation... especially in my Mexican culture, I am realizing that rn, that they ask that a lot to each other and then proceed to talk about where they are from and their towns and growing up and then the conversation stems from there. So for a situation like that and other ppl, like me, might ask that question as a way to connect to someone if I can't think of anything else, bcus I can be awkward if I blank on what to say, so I guess I specifically may have been conditioned from my Mexican culture that that is the thing to ask, so not to categorize and put u in a box, but to find something to connect on. Like I see ur 1st name sounds very pretty and ethnic and ur last name as well. So if u introduce ur name to someone, my mind initially goes to thinking 'ooo that is a pretty name, sounds ethnic, I wonder what ethnicity she is, to get a name like that?' Like that is just where my mind naturally goes and I think ur name sounds cool. Now, if someone is asking u "where are you from?" online, I'm guessing after they see ur last name, too. So just for the ones that think like me or approach conversations like me ofc, might wonder (bcus of ur last name) if ur also latina/hispanic or italian? For me, just bcus it's the 1st thing I see here, and the 1st easiest and obvious (to me) to find some common ground (if I don't know anything else about u) to then stem the conversation further from there. Yeah, I can only speak for latinos/hispanics, that we like to find each other. It's just like "Ayeee, u latino/hispanic too?? Ayeee, wassuhp!" Bam, immediate connection, and feeling of comfort. Yeah, that is the best I know how to describe why some ppl, latinos/hispanics, and specifically mexicans might ask u that. I will take what u said here into consideration, the next time I want to start with asking that or as my 3rd question to someone who seems like they could be latino/hispanic. :)

    Woww!! Really a very much important, useful n informative session. Learned a lot of things. Each n every tip is so much valuable. And I've found that tip, "Be interested, not interesting", i.e after entering into a room, "Hey, I'm here" and "Hey, there you're" the most important. Really a very much valuable video. 🙂😊.

    As a north african, I absolutely agree with the cultural differences, small talks are so important in here and you will probably have it with everyone, the waiter in a restaurant, cashier in a shop, really everyone. And the funny thing is that when we say hi, we'll start asking how are you doing in 3 different ways one after one and the one you're talking to will have to answer in a similar way with questions and not really giving the answer. after that you'd start talking about something and then only you'd ask how are you doing truly and you'll get an elaborated answer

    Thank you Jamila for what you teach us. It is universal skills, you know how to explain clearly how it differs fromage one culture to another. Small talk is rather difficult for me, I fear to be intrusive or not ask the right questions. But it is a real pleasure when I meet people who show me. For instance I am now in Brittany in France, in that region the weather is constantly changing. People are commenting what they see, when they are going outside, what they wear etc. It helps them show a little bit of themselves. I love it. 🙂

    Thanks for these tips. I especially like your tip to keep it light. I messed this up recently and still regret it. I have found in business on Zoom or Team style remote meetings we discuss where we are calling from. This leads to the others saying if they traveled there or asking what is the weather. The others may say if they have done business near that location or ask about our sports teams. We also discuss pets as we may have to apologize for a barking dog or fussy cat.

    Thank you for reaffirming many of the things I learned from Dale Carnegie's book, How to Win Friends and Infuence People. Mastering people's name is something I loved to do, until someone took it the wrong way (cultural reasons, I guess). Lately, having small talk hasn't been so easy because I'm usually around my kids, and I have to watch them when talking with people. It's not so easy to keep the conversation going when your attention is divided.

    Hi! Ive just found your channel and I love it I have a question though: how do you deal with small talkers who DO kill the conversation, overshare trauma, or another faux Pas that really makes it difficult to continue. How do you swiftly change the conversation, EXIT the conversation, or prompt them into opening up more? Really would like to see a video like this

  • @aplusjba

    That was a great video. I will definitely be reading the book. I like the part about repeating the person's name a few times. It helps one memorize the name and it is appealing to the person. How does one best address someone that monopolizes a conversation and does not give you space to interject?
