How do you define an interesting person to talk with?

Question

Often times I felt that I didnt do good enough in the conversations i had after repeat it in my head. Although I have a confidence that i'm a social person, but this habit is addictive and I never seems to be pleased with myself.

Answer 1

I think people who are interesting conversationalist talk about the things they are passionate about. So be an expert on a few subjects that are near and dear to your heart.

Also it's a good idea to keep up with local news and world events. If you don't enjoy reading the paper or watching the news, you can always view yahoo news on their home page. This will give you some idea of what's going on in the world around you.

Sometimes saying nothing and listening is the best form of communication and you could come across as much more intelligent than if you are forcing yourself to converse.

I would not spend to much time dwelling in past conversations. Just be yourself, that's always best...

Answer 2

Go and read How To Win Friends And Influence People by Dale Carnegie.

People always think that they are the most important person on earth. The most interesting person to talk with would be someone who REALLY listens to what you have to say instead of worry about whether they are doing a good job.

In the book, the author tells of the story of two men who were seated beside each other on a plane ride. On that plane ride.. person A talked non stop to person B and person B merely listened and asked him more questions about what person A is really interested in. While he did not say much, when person A got off the plane, he told his friend that he has met the MOST INTERESTING PERSON EVER! ;)

Listening to them has another important benefit. It helps you build your database of info to converse with other people who may share the same passions.

Good luck!

Well I would say, Intelligence is not the only thing to look for, you have to have emotional intelligence, and open mindedness, knowledge and a quest for knowledge, curiosity!

you can only be a interesting person if you have a mind of your own and not want to think like others or sound like others..have your own opinions and stick to it. that makes you sound like you are strong in your thinking and knowledgeable...I have been looked up to and admired for being interesting.

I read a lot and i want to know more and when i meet someone I don't talk about myself all the time, I take interest in the other person, but rarely do i find people interesting, cause Americans , at least most of them are so into themselves that they have no interest in other cultures, other people, they are so all about themselves that when you do meet someone they don't even ask about you! they only talk about themselves..i don't get that!!!
