⬇️ English version:
How to start a conversation:-
1. Start small, don’t talk to large group of people at once, start with 1-3 people max, and then expand the group more with time
2. Look for common ground. This one’s easier if you know you’re at a function where everyone’s likely to have a similar background. When you bring up what you have in common, you make an easy path for both parts to participate without feeling any awkwardness or hardship to fit in the conversation.
3. Use open-end questions, an open-ended question is a question that requires more than a “Yes” or “No” in response. By using open-ended questions, people often feel inspired to give a longer answer. Example; What sort of things do you do at work?
4. Know that tone is more important than words, the impression you make on other people depends partly on what you say, but it mainly depends on how you say it.
5. Pick up where you left off last time, in these situations, you can pick up where you left off by mentioning something you talked about last time.
Topics to avoid:-
- Start a discussion about politics
- Bring up religion
- Talk about sexual matters or intimate relationships
- Share too many details about an illness or injury
- Talk about personal finances or money
- Make generalizations about groups of people, such as a particular gender or nationality
You can talk about these subjects when you have built a relationship with the other person, but it’s safer to avoid them when you are just getting acquainted.
