How do you actually respond to information that people are sharing with you? Every time someone’s shares anything with me I always don’t know how to respond and just either sit there or make a bad joke lol
Here’s something I’ve always struggled with and I enjoy hearing different perspectives on, especially from people who are more social than I am.
Imagine this scenario:
You are invited to a party by a friend. You show up and don’t know a single other person. Your friend is the host and is off making food or talking to other people and not available to introduce you when you walk in. You look around the room at the entrance and see about 5 other people. 2 of them are talking off to the side while the other 3 are sitting on the couch having a discussion about someone you don’t know. They all turn to look at you when you walk in, but go back to their conversations shortly after without saying anything to you.
What do you, as a “social person” do in this situation?
I got the idea because this exact same thing happened to me a few years back and I had no idea what to do. I often think back to this situation because it seems to happen to me a lot, where I’m in some social situation where I don’t know a single person and everyone is already established with people to talk to. It’s not great to just avoid people or wait for someone to come talk to you, although it can also be hard to introduce yourself in a way that comes across as socially competent. There’s a lot that can go wrong, so I’m interested what you would do here. Thanks!
What’s the secret to naturally carrying a conversation beyond the usual small talk ? Just genuine, healthily opinionated conversation
How do you respond to people that and always create small talk instead of genuine conversation even if you start off the conversation with an elaborate topic they tend to carry the conversation back to something off topic or general instead of showing interest in the conversation?
it seems like every time I try to talk to someone and I talk about some thing that seems a little too deep or too weird for the other person I just end up feeling awkward and weird at the end of it and wondering if they were being judgmental towards me…
