The most common problem for people in the process of communication is when there is an awkward silence, and all thoughts at one moment disappeared somewhere. To avoid these situations, you need to follow a few rules of easy communication.
Instructions
Step 1
You don't have to strive to be perfect. Very often, when communicating, people do not expect genius and perfect statements from you. If you constantly speak in abstruse phrases, there is a risk that you will be misunderstood. You need to be simpler, and then communication will be simple and easy.
Step 2
Don't think too long. By doing this, you run the risk of closing in on yourself. Instead of looking in your head for perfect answers or topics of conversation, focus on the moment and the people you're talking to.
Step 3
Be a curious conversationalist. Ask non-intrusive questions and listen. Listening attentively is a good quality you can win over. If the interlocutor sees that you are interested in him, he will be happy to listen to you later.
Step 4
Typically, each topic of conversation follows from the previous one. For example, when talking about a trip to the country, you can then talk about a joint vacation with your family, and so on.
Step 5
Relaxed communication should be based on common interests. You can talk about the weather, movies, news, shopping and more. But it is better to avoid such topics as politics, economics, religion. The fact is that all people are different, each has its own development in a certain area, therefore, when choosing a topic for conversation, take this fact into account so that you do not put yourself or your interlocutor in an awkward position.
Step 6
Easy communication should be accompanied by good jokes. Therefore, always have a couple of interesting anecdotes or funny stories in your head. So you can defuse the situation at any time, if necessary, or support your interlocutor.
Step 7
If you are going to any themed party, for example, a gathering of fans, an IT get-together, and so on, check out the addictions of these people, their slang and news. This will help not only you, but also your interlocutors to avoid unpleasant situations when communicating.
