    f you’ve ever been clueless as to how you should approach

    someone, or been lost for words half way through a conversation,


    then congratulations, you’re human.

    We all have difficulties talking to and relating to one another. And


    it’s in our nature to worry about what other people think and be
    conscious of how we’re coming across.

    The only difference between socialites who can dazzle a room of


    people and those who can’t even talk to their mom is a little skill
    and practice.

    Get started building your social skills today with our eight tips for
    talking to anyone which, if employed correctly, will work for even
    the most introverted and shy recluse.

    1. Listen

    Instead of starting a conversation by saying something about


    yourself, how about asking the other person something
    and really listening? it’s far better to listen first and talk second. It
    makes for a more invested and engaging conversation in which the
    other person is not always worrying or thinking about what to say
    next.

    2. Stay in The Loop

    There’s always something to say, a lot of the time it’s just knowing
    where to start. For most students, this is with the news, gossip,
    current affairs, campus politics, and whatever else happens to be
    going on. Stay in the loop and in touch with the grapevine and you’ll
    never be short of ways to make new friends and get a conversation
    flowing.

    3. Use Empathetic Reflection

    One of the most effective and easiest tips for talking to anyone and,
    crucially, understanding them, is repeating to them in your own
    words what they just said to you. As well as showing them that
    you’re listening, it also allows the other person to direct what you
    heard in a more precise way to better reflect what they’re thinking
    and feeling.

    4. Don’t Judge
    Not judging people is something you get good at when you listen
    and understand what they’re saying with empathy. You’ll find that
    things are not always what they seem, and that when you’re having
    a conversation with someone you’ll be much more receptive and
    less likely to make snap judgements.

    5. Talk Nonverbally

    Words can only say so much, and we communicate so much more


    meaning through our body language and the gestures we make. By
    being aware of what the other person is doing with their eyes,
    posture, gestures, and hands, you can therefore get a better idea of
    when the convo needs to shift gears, when you need to walk away,
    and when you should dive deeper.

    6. Learn From Every Chat

    No conversation ever goes badly — if you learn from it. The only way
    we learn to be better communicators is through practice, and so
    look at every interaction as a way of improving your skills and
    broadening your perspective. In this way, you’ll know the next
    conversation will always be better than the last.

    7. Don’t Share Too Much

    You want to be open enough to keep someone engaged, but you


    don’t want to be so open you scare them away. If you ever have
    doubt and think you’re going too far, put yourself in their shoes;
    you’ll likely realise there’s a time and place for personal secrets and
    that maybe this is, or isn’t, it.

    8. Don’t Be Quick To Agree

    Some of the most interesting conversations come out of


    disagreements. Yet we are a nation of people pleasers and thus
    tend to stick to the safety of going along with general thoughts and
    opinions. Don’t assume agreement is what the other person wants,
    and likewise, that they agree and feel the same way as you do.
