The Best Way To Keep A Conversation Going
The Best Way To Keep A Conversation Going
The most conversation topics stopped just because a horrible question of, “what do I say to keep the conversation going?”
You are aware of the one I’m speaking about.
That conversation where situations are going fantastic, then another person says something, and you are struggling in mind for a response which will get rid of the embarrassing silence… when you can’t think of anything to keep the conversation going.
The actual issue at this point isn’t that you do not know what you should say… it’s that you are doing something anyone else doesn’t do.
You are trying to THINK of something to say to the other person that may keep away from being rejected… due to there being basically a lot of things you could say just to keep the conversation going, or get the other person talking.
Something simple like:
“Yeah that sounds really crappy”
“You’re really strong for dealing with that by yourself”
“Weren’t you scared?”
You will find a million things you could say to keep a conversation going… you’re just looking for that one special “magic line” that’s going to GUARANTEE the other person will respond positively… that’s the reason you can never think of anything to say, the reason you’re getting stuck, and the ONE THING you’re doing differently from other people.
I’d love to give you a conversation starter that works in ALL situations universally, I really would… it would make my life and yours a hell of a lot easier.
Unfortunately, since no such line exists, and you can’t ever truly know what someone else is thinking, you trap yourself in a psychological loop where you’re ALWAYS stuck trying to to think of the “right” thing to say… and you have NO IDEA what the “right” thing is.
But you keep thinking that if you just think a “little harder” you’ll come up with the some magic line… but part of you knows that isn’t ever going to happen.
But the good news is I do have a few VERY SIMPLE tricks I figured out through trial-and-error over the years… and I’m going to share them with you right now.
Note that these are NOT a substitute for learning how to socialize… but they will show you how to keep a conversation going and avoid awkward silences.
