Don’t be a bore. Does it seem to you that are telling an exciting story, and the audience is yawning? Perhaps this story is not as interesting as you think. Try to complete it and let others have their say.
Learn to listen. Let the interlocutor talk about himself. Ask him counter questions. Surprisingly, the people we like best always say little.
Discuss exactly what the interlocutor is interested in. Ask a person about his hobby, ask various questions and discuss them. If you are well versed in your interlocutor’s favorite business, you can easily keep up the conversation. And if not, ask him for more details. He will speak with great pleasure.
Keep three stories in reserve. People are not interested in the features of your new gadget or car. What really turns on are the real events that happened to you. So always have three stories to tell. They should be interesting and emotional.
Live an interesting life. Chat with different people, read more books, watch movies, travel. The best way to become an interesting person is to live an interesting life. This will give you much more than just being a good conversationalist.
