HOW TO TALK BETTER WITH PEOPLE

what if your jokes actually are funny but your friends are humorless? I mean feel free to tell us some of your jokes in this post

 

Allow me to give you some advice I got from a 70-80 year old diary entry of someone I read on Facebook. It was in my native tongue, so I will do my best to translate it for you from memory (I am not good at remembering stuff to top it).

If you want to be good at discourse, read the classics.

He mentioned how he was reading these great books and how he felt his quality of conversation was improving and people showed more interest in him.

 

One thing is that people almost always like to talk about themselves - if you ask them questions about the things that excite them, even if you don't add much of your own, they will like you.

 

I feel the same.. but the thing is I dont care.. Another thing is people do take me serious when they are discussing on any general topic.
How?

I read 2 newspapers and every news on google news every single day.
And most importantly, read the stuff of your opposing views.

(for example, if everybody is against some Law imposed by Donald Trump, dont forget to read about the law and to whom its going to give benefit. Because all people and news channel will be talking about its harms and negative effects, you got to read about why it was taken and to whom its going to help... bec people have no fucking idea about the law. )

How does it help. ???

I argue with the best possible points and include my opinion into that and since they dont have much knowledge on the topic (bec most of their knowledge comes from facebook posts,whatsapp forwarded msgs and news channels, they dont have any idea about real topic). So, that gives me the edge in those discussions.

And I reap the benefits in other talks.. I just crack any lame joke, any old story, or any lame incident .. even if they dont laugh or they say its the worst joke etc.. they still hear me. And when there are discussions on topic, they ask me what you think.. they themselves give the power to you.

My suggestion:
Always remember, knowledge gives you the edge.

 

Just be down to earth and act like you are act work and your talkative vibration will be up. It's funny how you mention ego. Mine I admit goes up a little bit when I'm in chat rooms for DJ's or etc.. I have to catch myself and relax. I look at myself and even I don't approve of it. Especially when there on some girls in the room. I guess I just get nervous...

Just throw something interesting out when you are with classmates and look up weird news or something like that, funny stories, or your interest's. You listen to them and if they care they will listen back to you.

I remember being very laid back with my high school friends years ago. I would honestly just go with the flow and enjoy myself and my time with them and not worry about who's thinking what. Unless someone started drama then I knew who not talk to anymore.

 

That’sa great suggestion!
