In order to change our personal life, move up the career ladder, or just get a lot of pleasant experiences, we all have to communicate with other people. After all, if we cannot talk positively with others, then we will not be able to gain authority in society, make new friends and acquaintances.

Step 1
For many people, the main problem is that they simply cannot start a conversation. In fact, it doesn't take a social genius to strike up a conversation with someone. It is enough to be sincere and follow some basic rules. And yet, naturalness is the most important thing. Remember the famous expression: "What is natural is not ugly." If you are sincere, the most "harmful" people will be revealed to you.
Step 2
To start a conversation successfully, you must be interested in it. The easiest way to strike up a conversation is to get interested in something. Let's say you find out that your work colleague is into diving. If you have always wanted a thrill, and attracted the underwater expanses, then this occasion for conversation is almost perfect. Remember, all people are very fond of feeling their worth. Tell a colleague that you've always wanted to dive, but don't know where to start. He will surely tell you a lot of new and interesting things, perhaps even provide all possible help. The most important thing is that you will understand each other much better (and in the near future you will become friends).
Step 3
Intrigue is also a great way to get the other person interested and start a conversation. Say some provocative fact (it could be an event, book, movie, quote) that is very difficult for a sane person to agree with. It should be something that really hooks a person, hurts his feelings. For example, girls are more interested in the topic of relationships, and men are more interested in welfare and status, career.
Step 4
If you want to connect with a lot of people on a regular basis and be able to naturally strike up a conversation, you need to practice a lot. In most Russian cities there are special discussion clubs where you can not only learn to talk on any topic, meet interesting people, but also train your oratorical skills. Joining such a club is guaranteed to contribute to your development.
