“The word is silver, silence is gold!” - this is how popular wisdom says. But still, there are situations when it is worth neglecting. For example, a man met a girl whom he really liked. And for some reason he was suddenly so embarrassed that all the prepared phrases flew out of my head. The silence stretches out and becomes awkward. It is unlikely that such a gentleman will look advantageous in the eyes of a girl. So how do you avoid awkward silence?
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, try not to get nervous. “Calm, only calm!” - this phrase from a good old cartoon should become a guide to action.
Step 2
For example, a random company has gathered, from people of different ages, with different tastes and hobbies. I ought to start a conversation, but on what topic? Everyone in his soul is afraid to blurt out something wrong, to expose himself not in his best form. The simplest and most win-win case is that you can start talking about some neutral topic common to all. Remember how the cunning Judge Wargrave from the "Ten Little Indians" acted - he turned to Miss Brandt with the words: "The weather is fine today, madam, isn't it?" And he immediately endeared the future victim to himself, inspired confidence. You should only avoid those that evoke strong emotions: politics, scandals, sensational crimes.
Step 3
And it's really bad if you don't know what to say, at a job interview or when discussing a very important issue at a production meeting. Your career is at best a big question mark. In no case do not engage in "self-criticism", do not belittle yourself. Sometimes clever thoughts leave the head precisely because a person makes too strict demands on himself and is trying to understand: “How do I look from the outside? Am I making a good impression? Didn't you make some awkwardness, mistakes?"
Step 4
If suddenly you "faltered" in the presence of a leader, you can ask him some question, preferably in this way: "Did I understand you correctly that …" Thus, you once again emphasize respect and attention to him, and at the same time, while he will says get time to collect your thoughts.
Step 5
Well, and the overwhelming majority of girls will have a magical effect of the phrase: "Sorry, you are so charming that I was even confused!" Especially complete with an affectionate, sincere smile. The girl would not even think to be angry, on the contrary! But this phrase does not work for long, so try to quickly figure out how to continue the conversation.
