i feel really down want to talk to someone but dont know how to start the conversation?

Answer 1

In order to provide a decent piece of advice, I need more information. Is there a particular person you're wanting to talk with? Is this something you have a problem doing with most people?

If you're feeling down, the best thing to do first is seek out someone you really trust and have a good rapport with. Next is finding the time to sit down and let this person know how you're feeling. Being down isn't a lot of fun, I know, but once you get past the initial anxiety, you'll feel much better when you get your feelings out to the person you want to talk to.

Always start out with a deep breath. It always works for me.

I sincerely hope this will help you break the ice...if it doesn't, get back to me and I'll see what I can do to help you.

I like it when people are straight and to the point. No small talk and beating around the bush. Just get right to the point. Be direct. I have friends that I can talk to when I need support and I also attend a 12 step support group. So, when I need to talk to someone about something, and I've chosen people who are supportive to me and understanding and not judgemental, I simply call them up and say, "Hi. Do you have a minute?" And they say, "Yeah, sure. What's going on?" Then I tell them. "I'm having this problem and I just want to bounce it off of you" or something like that. It usually goes pretty well. If you don't have anybody you feel you can talk to or you can't get ahold of them or you left a message but they haven't called you back, etc call a crisis line.

If you want, you can email me. :)

Hi - sorry to hear youre feeling low. How about you call / meet the person youve decided you want to talk to and ask how they are, because 9 times out of 10 people say 'Im not bad, how are you?' (well, people that have manners ask that!) then this will give you an opening in the conversation to say 'You know what, Ive been feeling pretty low recently, can I talk to you about it?' and go from there. Thats how Id approach it. Good luck. x

Answer 4

Here's an idea. Try saying this...


"Hey... I'm feeling really sad. I just want someone to talk to."



Friends are good for this. I remember calling my best guy friend at 3 AM because I was upset and needed to talk.

Answer 5

Start by telling someone whats wrong. Why are you down? A problem shared is a problem halved.

It's not because your an Owls fan is it lad....? Ere, come down to Valley Parade, Bradford mate. They give you razor blades as you walk through the turn styles.

Answer 7

If it's online and doesnt have to be one to one.. walk into a chatroom.. If it has to be one on one and online .. find people with similar interests when you watch them on a chatroom and with their permission have a private chat.. or simply shut down the pc.. and call any of your old friends or family.. there's many ways to starting a conversation : pick points on the situation, your surrounding, the person you're trying to have a conversation with, current affairs. current scores in whatever sport you're interested in, etc etc.. Listen to your instincts

Best of Luck

Answer 8

You just start by talking about general things like, it is a hot day etc. and the conversation will move itself.

Answer 9

Do you know what exactly is making you feel down? If you did then it would be easier to find the best person to talk to about it. Message me if you want a chat x

Answer 10

Just say hi, how are you doing today. And then take it from there - it's not hard to start a conversation and if you listen well and respond to the other person it's not hard to continue one either.

Good luck.
