We live in a world of people, and every day we have to communicate with them in one way or another. Someone is sociable on his own, and he takes pleasure in making new acquaintances, talking with clients, etc. And for some, communication is given with difficulty. And even if such a person wants to communicate with the people around him, then due to his shyness and shyness, he does not know how. Therefore, there are quite a few techniques and tips aimed at developing communication skills.
Instructions
Step 1
Be kind and positive when communicating. Talking with a person who constantly smiles and laughs is much more pleasant than with a gloomy and sullen personality. And we are not talking about the need to entertain the people with anecdotes, funny antics, etc. If you are good at joking, then do it, but do not get carried away, as you can be known as a clown, and the people around you will not take you seriously.
Step 2
Show a sincere interest in the interlocutor, in what he says, what he is interested in. It’s unpleasant to tell a story or discuss a certain topic if you don’t see the interest from your opponent. Talk to the person about topics they are interested in. Maybe it's classic literature or historical cinema, a healthy lifestyle or fashion. And if among the hobbies of your interlocutor there is something that you are also interested in, then communication will start by itself.
Step 3
Sometimes the ability to listen and hear is valued much more than the ability to speak. No wonder there is such a saying: "The word is silver, silence is gold." So if you are not very talkative, but at the same time are able to carefully listen to your interlocutor, then this will create a favorable impression of you. But if you yourself like to chat incessantly, and even interrupt others, then this can cause a completely opposite effect.
Step 4
Be yourself, don't try to pretend you are not. Some people get nervous and unnatural when they get into unfamiliar company. Someone huddles into the far corner so that they will not be noticed, while someone, on the contrary, tries to show that he is the soul of the company, but it turns out to be funny and ridiculous. Sooner or later, people will realize that you are not at all the same as you tried to present yourself initially, so initially it is better to behave naturally and at ease.
Step 5
Some people are afraid to communicate because of some of their complexes. Someone considers himself fat and ugly, while someone is afraid that others will not appreciate him. But think, because others also have their advantages and disadvantages, and this does not prevent them from communicating. When communicating, the main thing is what and how you say, how you feel yourself. If you feel confident in yourself, then those around you will think the same way. Therefore, before communication, tune in to a positive mood, forget about your shortcomings, find inner harmony, and then people themselves will reach out to you.
