Speaking with Strangers: A Beginner’s Guide
Why start a conversation?
We are social creatures. Research shows that even short conversations with people around us can make us feel happier and more connected. Talking to someone you don’t know well may seem scary at first, but it can lead to new friendships and improve your confidence.
When chatting with a stranger, try to keep good eye contact and think of a few simple topics before you start talking. You don’t need to be funny or clever—just be kind and interested. A good conversation is not about being perfect; it’s about connecting with others.
Three tips to get started:
• Ask questions – Don’t worry if your questions are simple. Easy questions like “How was your day?” can still lead to a nice chat.
• Don’t skip small talk – Talking about the weather or your surroundings can help you find things in common. Just avoid topics that might cause disagreement, such as politics or personal beliefs.
• Know when and how to exit – Be mindful of your conversation partner’s body language and responses – if you’re doing all the work to maintain the chit chat, it might be a sign they’re not interested.
Next up:
Conversation is a skill. Like any, it takes practice. Try saying hello or making a small comment when you’re in line at a coffee shop or supermarket. These little moments are great chances to improve your social confidence.
