How to talk with Strangers?

  


  Ouw is he would like to talk to me? Does she feel awkward if we have a conversation together? where should I start?. There are a million questions coming from your mind only to find out how to start a conversation with strangers. As we can see we are social creatures that want to have a good conversation, make new friends, and try to get a good relationship. However, starting a new conversation with strangers is similar to making a piece of art. 

  Not all people have the same creativity to start a conversation. They have their own talent and personality. But everyone could build their skill from many perspectives. Having conversations with strangers is a skill that you have to learn in society. As you grow older you will find out that talking with strangers is far more enjoyable than talking with your friends. Alright, let me tell you a few tips to build this skill. 

  First, no need to worry just be brave. Even if you feel uncomfortable while you guys trying a conversation, just do it. The person is probably going to like you more than you think and you're both probably going to enjoy it more than you think. 

  Second, always start with a greeting. You don't have to dazzle them, start with simple words such as hello or hi. Don't forget to add some smiles. When you are smiling the strangers will get a positive sense from you. Usually, they will smile back to show you how friendly they are. 

  Third, give them a compliment. It shifts the focus to the other person and should make them feel good. But keep in mind some compliments come across as insincere. A good basic compliment is never complimenting a stranger's physical features. 

  Lastly, Talk about something you both have in common. Let says you're in the same place and experiencing the same weather or maybe have a shared hobby, or maybe you work in a similar role. Don't be afraid to dig deeper and find more interesting commonalities. 

  Well mates that were a few tips from me. If you are not yet ready to talk to strangers, you can prepare yourself to be an interesting person and people will soon start striking up a conversation with you.

   Hmm? you want to know how to be an interesting person? Ok, that is going to be the next topic on this blog. I hope you're learning something new today and have a nice day😀.

Leader Vs Boss

    Some people might use the terms "boss" and "leader" interchangeably, but that's not entirely accurate. The truth is, some bosses are simply a boss. They have attained a position in the management section of the corporate pyramid. Those positions alone don't make them leaders. They are just pushing their employers while "sitting down". However, bosses can become leaders, and doing so should become a priority for those who want to effectively lead in the workplace. So, what is the difference between a leader and a boss?   A boss refers to an individual who is in charge of the employee or an organisation. He exercises control over employees, assigns tasks, and duties to them, and is entitled to take decisions on some matters. There is no formal title like "boss" in the organisational chart, but the term indicates a person who is the owner or appointed as head of the organisation, department, or division.   On the other hand, the term lea

About Phubbing

    In the Digital Era, smartphones have become the number one priority in society. When it comes to our smartphones, nothing else in our lives gets as much attention. A single notification can branch to half days only checking the status or short videos on social media. If we lose it, the stress starts to build up rapidly. Getting by without a smartphone really is not possible anymore, and from that other areas of our lives are bound to be affected.   Phubbing describes the act of "phone-snubbing". It is a term that most people might not be familiar with, but the action is certainly one we all recognise. If we are going outside let's say, how often have we been physically in the presence of someone, but they're emotionally "not there" because they are absorbed in their smartphone? Quite a lot, isn't it?   Smartphones and text messaging help partners display love and affection to each other when they are physically apart. However, what happens when smart

Early Birds and Night Owls

  In this world, there are two kinds of people in this world, people who love to hear birds chirping in the morning, and people who wish the birds had a mute button somewhere. Someone likes the sun going up, someone likes the sun drowning to keep the night up. In other words, early birds and night owls. So, which one are you?    Early birds or morning people. They are awake in the morning and love to welcome the new day. Early birds tend to go to bed early, wake up early, and feel their best as the day begins. As a general rule, early birds find a society more accommodating than night owls do. Early birds generally have an easier time adjusting to standard daytime schedules.    On the other hand, night owls or night people tend to stay up late, enjoy sleeping in, have more energy at night, and feel tired after waking up early. Night owls do have a few downsides. They might have a harder time holding a traditional job. Young night owls might have trouble making a fixed school or univers
