How to carry a conversation?

Why can't I carry a conversation? (10 points)?

  • Like, when I am talking to people, even friends, they bring up a topic and I have NOTHING to say because nothing COMES to mind... For example: If we're talking in a group, they are talking about whether to get a drivers license or wait, everybody seems to have some input and can continue the conversation, but for me, NOTHING comes to mind as what I should say.... It seems natural for other people where idea just come to them automatically. However, I am able to carry conversation for some stuff like school, careers, universities.... I want to be able to carry conversation about fun and subjects that aren't so serious.... It is like nobody can have fun when talkin with me.

  • Answer:

    Well you must have an opinion. Everyone has an opinion on things and you should be able to offer your opinion when someone brings up questions. Then others have a rebuttal and so the conversation goes back and forth. If you are fine conversing comfortably about school, careers, colleges you should find no difference in any conversation. It involves the same things. It sounds like you have a little self esteem issue if you have difficulty fitting in with the fun conversations. Practice jumping in there and sharing your opinions. What can you lose?

I have a friend like that, sort of. He has ADD. His conversations are random, but they're not usually more serious than fun, or vise versa. Just random.

It's because you don't care about the stuff they talk about. Read some trashy gossip magazines and your problems will be solved.

find a hobby you enjoy, and go out and do more things. that way you'll have something to talk about. watch some sports maybe, read some magazines. you can star t a convo by going did you know blah blah blah. practice with yourself in front of a mirror until you're comfortable making small talk

Why don't you try to read some curiosities online? There are many new things posted in Yahoo everyday. You can read a magasine and tell your opinion to the others. Read gossip, reports on inventions, crazy things happening around the world. You could even interact with people online and know different,interestin things from people that do not live in the same country as you.

you usually talk about what interests you. get friends that suits your interests. maybe these friends aren't at your mature level. it's not your fault, don't worry.

you'll grow out of that "nothing" feeling if you continue to hang around people. Do some reading so you have some views to talk about. Some people have their parents or siblings who talk about a lot of subjects at home, in the evening, at the dinner meal, or they hear their parents talking on all subjects. Just keep your ears open a while, choose your decisions carefully from what you hear, and chime in the conversation. The chatrooms do a lot of that bantering, like the politics room, and even reading a lot of the answers on Q&A you can get different views you can choose from. Or you can do what Dale Carnegie says to do, talk the other person's language. You can start a conversation by asking open ended questions (and not prying) and making the other person feel sincerely important. Ask their opinion, compliment them, share some of your own experiences.

Perhaps if you were to get with like minded people...

perhaps you need a new group of older friends to hang out with? maybe you take life a bit more seriously than some of your peers. Do not worry..there are billions of people on the planet..surely more of them will come your way or you theirs and you will all enjoy one anothers company.
