Start by not diverting every conversation val to yourself. Once one notices how everyone (including you) does this it will drive you bonkers

learning shit like this helped improve my dating game. fuck this advertisement link though- you can find the same info for free

Go jump out of a plane!
SoupyActiveElk
but what about this.
Virunuss
This is fucking weird. Even the "good example" seems like the most scripted fucking workplace encounter rather than a good conversation.
Lastluke
I was like: "A whole list of conversation starters about Kick-Ass? That movie was okay, but wouldn't people get sick of me talking about it?
hedgewizard
The What vs Why thing is accurate. I often ask people to explain certain political beliefs, and many respond to "why" as an attack.
logantip
This is an ad. Wtf

Waiter... I'm afraid this conversation isn't very good.....

I've had people apologize to me due to how awkward I make them feel

I'm so sorry

"Hey Forgot-Your-Name, how are the things that you do?" The extent of my people skills.

This is not about having conversations, this is about interrogating people.
TheSeanannigan
Cool stuff, but really an ad?
Calicious
"The first step to any interesting conversation is to start talking..." Welp that rules me out.
mintybanana
I disagree about "craziest". It puts the pressure to come up with something that's impressively crazy. I prefer to ask "what's something
mintybanana
crazy" or "the first thing that pops into your head" which is usually funny cause it may not be what they expected to say.
mintybanana
Often people freeze when asked for their "most (embarrassing/crazy/etc) story"

So a simple "how's it going?" no longer works these days? I must be socially inept...
shadowmore
Now I can mask my sociopathic tendencies with a flawless mask of social conformity! Thanks, beard strokings!

I don't think many people would understand my "genuine curiosity" of gravitational time dilation...

Great, several other things to constantly worry about when trying to communicate verbally.
GlitterInTheDarkNearTheTannhauserGate
This seems to apply to txting more, especially tinder conversations that open up topics to chat about when you meet
LyleF
I feel ya. Most important thing really is to not obsess over what people think of you. Sadly that can sometimes be the hardest step.
FastF0x
Yeah, I've tried that, and just said what I think. Now people hate me.
respectfailure
I just tried this. Just got fired and now my wife wants a divorce.
Arsikere
a new beginning!

*What* made you want to do that?

Why did you do that
DoubleHealthAndWellness
That's awesome! I divorced my wife last year and then got fired from my job. It was a wonderful experience.
DeviantPhuq
What makes you think it was this posts fault?
ilovecake
Heh, I’m sure it’s a joke but 2 months after my ex-husband and I separated he got laid off right before our lease was up. Found him a 1/

Place to stay at so he could get back on his feet, and I housed the large furniture at my new place to save him $ on storage fees.

I tried it and now I have your job and wife.

Genuine Curiosity.. Ugh too hard already..
IncognitoPanda
To be fair, these conversations sound boring as shit
Snooj
I have lots of genuine curiosity, just not about other people and whatever stupid shit they want to do.
Draxkang
You aren't talking to the right people. Also I enjoy being able to converse even if I don't care. Gives a sense of accomplishment
Snooj
We're just different people.
Draxkang
I respect that
Snooj
I don't. By "different" I mean we are mortal enemies. So nice to finally have a nemesis.
petresun
What the fuck. Just be yourself.
SKELETONMAAAN
Being myself is never talking to anyone cause I hate conversations. Shut up dude.
SnikwaH
I really don’t think you read through this. Because what you are saying is like “wtf don’t go to school to learn! Just be yourself!”
jsparker43
Can I be you?
JustAnotherPOG
I don't think they are mutually exclusive.
Zokalwe
"Just be yourself" - confident extroverts
JohnnyWindchimes
Never, ever be yourself. No one is inherently interesting or interested in you. Gotta create that shit
MillionDollarMistake
What? This is to help people communicate better.
lauraInternetJunkie
It's yourself isn't good at creating a connexion allowing you to show someone who you are
Bysiyan
What if I'm actual garbage?
GlitterInTheDarkNearTheTannhauserGate
Not if 'being yourself' means not speaking a word... I literally had to learn basic conversation skills like this before making any friends
DeakVanNyke
if being myself ever worked, I wouldnt be reading this post RN
petresun
Well there's your problem.
SquawkBoxIT
No, I want you to be myself
IntrinsicDelay
I myself want to be you, yourself.
CPatricoo
Step 1: "Genuine Curiosity." Im out.
Solivoid
I'd rather the first step would be more genuine than that. It should be: "Step 1: Fake curiosity. Step 2: Do XYZ until you find common-grnd"
garybear
Do people not like to learn things outside of what they’re forced to?
bobelbo
People here are cynical as fuck and expect the worst from everyone so they won't give anyone a chance.
Muttons1337
When a customer starts talking to me about a topic like I know who and what they are talking about, it immediately makes me uninterested.
SKELETONMAAAN
The problem is that I do not want to know 80% of the people I meet.
CPatricoo
Maybe. Im not curious enough to find out.
Hungrypiemonger
badum, tsh!
hedgewizard
Find something the person is passionate about. They will talk about it forever, and you'll learn an awful lot.
corsettedconfectioner
see... im passionate about 2 things ... food ... and sex ... i like to talk about sex but that gives the impression im easy
hedgewizard
That's because people are foolish. Because you talk about sex doesn't mean you want sex with me.
corsettedconfectioner
exactly but not everyone gets that ....
hedgewizard
Maybe because I'm socially awkward, I don't assume everyone wants sex with me. takes more than chatting for me to assume that.
corsettedconfectioner
We should have lunch and have a discussion lol
