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😀.
