“Do you remember the first conversation that you ever had with any person?”
I think no. Hmm, it’s fine.
You know the conversation is a fascinating thing, an adventure. The conversation gives you a whole new perspective. A conversation can open the door. Conversations can make war and also make peace. Conversations define who the actually we are. Every single person in your life was once a stranger to you and you knew nothing about them until you had that first conversation. So I’m here to tell you to talk to strangers and to have a conversation.
So here are some ways that you can make a conversation with almost anyone. Strangers they are everywhere and we always been told that don’t talk to strangers. But every stranger comes with a new opportunity in our life. An opportunity to learn something new, an opportunity to have an experience you’ve never had, an opportunity to hear a story that you’ve never heard before and every conversation that you have after that moment the connection gets stronger and stronger. And every day each one of us meets so many strangers.
1. GO with the flow :
I truly believe that the first word always appears as stricken but You know once you said the first word everything else just flows. So go with the flow and keep it simple. A “hi” a “hey” a “hello” just gather the enthusiasm, the positivity, the energy, put on a big smile on your face and start.
2. Skip the small talk :
Skip the small talk and ask a really personal question and don’t be afraid to ask. You will be surprised how much people are willing to share if you just ask. So ask any kind of personal question. Maybe their interesting name, the actual meaning of their name, How did your parents think of it? Is there a story behind it? How long do you live in this city? But make it clear and simple.
3. Find the "me too" :
When you meet someone for the first time make an effort to find the one thing that you and another person might have in common.

3. Find the "me too" :
When you meet someone for the first time make an effort to find the one thing that you and another person might have in common.
When you start at that point and move outward from there you will find that all of a sudden the conversation becomes a lot easier and that’s because both of you suddenly are on the same side of something and that’s a really powerful feeling. When you find me too you automatically have a kind of buy-in from the other person. Trust me that will be really helpful.
4. Pay a unique compliment :
I read somewhere and heard always since the adulthood that people will forget what you do and they will forget what you say but they will never forget how you made them feel. So be generous and go out and give someone a nice full compliment. There are some words that each of us have developed an immunity to. It could be “nice”, it could be “awesome”, it could be “cool”, but these all are very common words nowadays. Just stay away from these. Try and construct a compliment that’s unique and genuine and you don’t have to lie and also never use stupid words.
5. Ask for an opinion:
All of us have opinions and we all want them to be heard. So go on and ask for an opinion and that’s when you open up a two-way street. That’s when real communication begins.
And you will be surprised how much you can pick up about a person just by asking their opinion on something pretty generic. Here’s is the mistake that some people make. They ask your opinion about something really difficult. Just keep it simple and generic. It could be like How do you like your food? When did you watch your last movies? What did you think of it? and when somebody gives you their opinion really listen and pay attention.
6. Be present:

6. Be present:
Don’t multitask. Be at that moment. You know when someone’s trying to communicate with you the least you can do is really be in that conversation just be wholeheartedly present. Just be there and make eye contact. Eye contact is where all the magic happens you can feel the conversation.
7. Remember little things:
Try to remember each and little details about a person, try to remember their nickname. It’s so important. Remember someone’s name and say it back to them. You have no idea how important you’re making them feel.
Remember the other details as well as the places they like to go to, the places they’ve been to, the places they want to go to, their pets names, the foods they like to eat, the television show they like to see, the movie type they like to watch, remember these little things about people and repeat it back to them, ask to be genuinely interested and automatically you kind of become an investor in their well-being so they’ll feel responsible to you to keep that conversation going. There we go.
So these are the ways that you can make conversation with anyone. and that’s going to come up to talk to a stranger that you don’t know.
I’m going to end with this harmony that a conversation is like reading a book, you can turn to any page you want, you can read as long as you want and every person is a really good book. So open a book and start reading a page.
