Improving verbal communication skills

how are your reading habits?
usually people who are illiterate arent able to speak fluently.

 

My grandma never went to school. But she can speak fluently in my native tongue. Her storytelling is very artistic .
So How is being illiterate related to speaking fluently can you please elaborate ?

 

I have the same issue. I think my social anxiety played a large contribution to it. And then my lack of communication skill enhanced my social anxiety.

 

Well you already know how, so put the nikes on

Singing is really powerful and together with a job like you mentioned, imho the most effective method.
What helps me is keeping in mind that other people can be boring too or anxious and really focusing on the person I'm talking to.
Not like staring them down but mentally trying to get a peak into their world, asking questions that shed some light on how they perceive life or about what makes them happy and so on.

 

Well for me personally, I started talking to everyone with their specific domain( For example a Business man about his business, a Shop Keeper about his shop and employee, An engineer about his work, an athlete about his work-ethic... You get the story). You just gotta step up and choose a topic you know they are either interested in or have keen knowledge to share with you, this also makes it easier for you to open up and talk about your experiences with them as well.

 

I feel for you, Hadrian, as well. I have been someone who was completely mute, afraid to show people my voice, to a competent personality in public (still have a lot of work of course).

Here are my tips for you:

• You said it yourself that everyday or every week positions where you have to interact with people steadily improves your ability to communicate. Add 1 or 2 social activities that you do every week that will put you in front of people
• When you're in group, be the first to initiate. I'm sure that you've felt the same when you wanted people to come up to you to start, but you have to be the one
• Find the other person's passions and interests as quick as possible. Also find a shared interest. Avoid as much small-talk as possible

 

try writing some imaginary dialogues between two people one of them being you. Being talkative is about being relaxed and usually say whatever pops up in your head. It is being a bit crazy or not so rational too because your are making free associations in your head on the spot.

try also a creative writing course too if you want
