To please unfamiliar people and make you want to continue communicating with you is a skill that requires effort, and not a matter of course. Therefore, one cannot sigh doomedly on the sidelines, secretly envious of a person who is more successful in society, we must act!
Where to begin?
It would not be superfluous to engage in self-development. A versatile person will always find common topics for conversation with as many strangers as possible. A person with a good store of knowledge is always interesting during communication. So read more, learn crafts, languages, experiment, try new things and don't sit still.
It is worth remembering about basic daily self-care. Neat clothes to the place and a benevolent attitude are not superfluous, but the necessity of life in society.
Sometimes banal shyness creates insurmountable barriers to communication. Changing your image, meeting unfamiliar people, or exercising in a fitness center can help you become more self-confident.
Ability to maintain a conversation
This is perhaps one of the most requested skills when you first meet. In order not to be embarrassed by prolonged pauses, you should remember about a set of universal topics for conversation with unfamiliar people:
- weather;
- urban incidents and news;
- food, drinks;
- travel, travel;
- pets.
They are good because they are neutral, everyone has something to say.
At the same time, there are topics that it is better not to touch upon, if you do not want open confrontation and dissatisfaction with the outcome of the fight. These include:
- military conflicts and politics;
- questions of religion, confession;
- discussion of nationalities.
Being tactful is the key to having a pleasant conversation. Therefore, questions about marital status, financial expenses, salary or recent illness are inappropriate.
You should not issue monologues about your life, no matter how bright and exciting they may seem to you. It is better to let the interlocutor speak up by proposing a neutral topic and listen to him carefully.
Do not discuss others. Do not complain about life, do not describe your problems in paints - everyone has enough troubles in life so that they still want to listen to some whiny bore. Being considerate, considerate, positive, friendly and natural is enough to please and make a good first impression.
