How to talk to people when you have no topic at all?

Question

Just wanna to know coz I have a hard time trying to be friendly but people still think I'm an arrogant one.

Answer 1

Just fart...that will be a great starter subject

Answer 2

Do you mean strangers or people you know?

Ask open ended questions, that way the listener has to give you more than just a yes/no answer to your question.
You could start with very simple "icebreaker' questions like: -
How was your weekend?
What did you do on the weekend?
What do you think about 'insert topic here'?
Did you hear about 'insert topic here'?

If it is a stranger, you could look at what they are carrying, or it could be something to do with the location you are in. Just make sure you don't ask yes/no questions. And always make a concious effort to sound interested (even if you are not).
You would listen carefully to the answer so you can then choose another question to continue the conversation.

Good Luck and happy conversing.

Answer 3

I find most peoples favorite subject is themselves, as such it makes for a great starter for conversation. You may consider this when next you find yourself lacking an entry point to engage someone. It works like a charm, in that if you listen more than you speak you will be charming whoever your speaking with. Good luck regardless what you do.

Answer 4

Just ask people questions about themselves and listen. They will think you are great. Where are you from? What kind of music do you like? Crap like that. People love to talk about themselves. If they can do that with you, they will never think you are arrogant.

Answer 5

Awww, trying to talk to people is not as easy as it seems. If you dont know them then start with somthing like what school they went to or mabe talk about a movie you have recently seen, there are really alot of subjects you can discuss with strangers, you just have to try not to be nervous or your mind will go blank....goodluck :)

Answer 6

practice over mobile phone for a few days, then you can talk.If you feel you are arrogant, look for arrogant people so that you can talk as well as fight.
If the above is not possible talk here in this platform with your mask [Avatar].

Answer 7

There is always a topic upon which to converse, even if you venture an opinion in a conversation already in progress

Answer 8

Hey, do like everybody else does for starters... talk about the weather. If they're receptive to talking they'll respond... if not, they'll clam up and that's your clue to move to another crowd.

Then you play it by ear from there or they'll bring up the next topic.

Answer 9

Just be real, people can spot when you arent being yourself. Just use an opener like, good morning...nice weather..and that will usually get the ball rolling!!

Answer 10

just say something random!!!Like the word egg! or chicken! It always works when i approach a new group!
