Default Re: How to talk

SO far on the forums you are doing great!

Here is the real deal, in high school I was the most popular person, why? Because I got along and talked to more people. It all has to start with confidence in yourself.

As far as conversations look for things that will spark a real conversation.

Y:" How was school today?"
D:" Fine."
Y:" Really what made it fine? "
D:" Nothing. "
Y:" SO did you do a whole lot of nothing? "
D:" Are you okay, mom? "
Y:" Of course I am, I just never really ask you about school or how you are doing anymore and I wanted you to know I love you and care for you. "
D:" I know. "
Y:" SO what happened in school and I know more then nothing happened. "

ALways give the person a way to talk. Most people like to talk about themselves or their life. Always leave yourself a way to widen the conversation with more questions or with things you can relate to or lend empathy.
