There are people who feel great in any company, they can talk about anything and with anyone. There are others who get lost in conversation with strangers. The latter often envy the former. They think that the ability to communicate with people is innate. Someone really possesses it by nature, while someone was able to develop it themselves.
Instructions
Step 1
Avoid yanking in conversation. For example, you are well versed in computers, and you are in the society of the humanities. Do not start a conversation about new gadgets they do not understand. This is not appropriate.
Step 2
Take an interest in the interlocutor. Talk about topics close to him. Try to avoid unpleasant conversations.
Step 3
Be positive. In almost any society, negativists become persona non grata.
Step 4
Take a look around the new company. You should not immediately start a conversation about those unfamiliar to you.
Step 5
Use a sense of humor, but be limited. A funny story told out of place can ruin a conversation. Also, you should avoid "bearded" jokes.
Step 6
Maintain the conversation, but avoid detailed analysis of the topic. Secular conversations, as a rule, are superficial, there is no place for a detailed analysis of any subject. But even in superficial conversations, you need to feel confident. Therefore, if you do not understand what is at stake, it is better not to pretend to be an expert, there is a possibility of getting into an absurd situation.
Step 7
Choose a topic that is interesting to everyone. Even such a banal subject as the weather can captivate your interlocutors. For example, if it is raining outside, tell us an interesting story related to rain. In addition, there are sports, television, news, etc. In the course of the conversation, there will certainly be a question that is truly interesting to everyone.
Step 8
Defend your position in disputes with the help of facts, not offensive remarks to the interlocutor. It is advisable to avoid getting personal, even in conversations with old friends. With unfamiliar people, such a manner of communication is generally unacceptable.
Step 9
Avoid gossip. Don't gossip yourself or support others.
Step 10
Compliment your interlocutors, but don't lie or curry favor. Such things do not characterize people in the best way.
Step 11
Be tactful. Do not interrupt the interlocutor, do not tell him the words or correct him, especially if this person is much older than you.
Step 12
Address "you" to all strangers over 18 years old. The transition to "you" may take place during the conversation.
