I have a huge problem in work and in life. My problem is that I can only seem to be able to speak to a colleague or any other person for no longer than a couple of minutes. After that I'm lost and I have to leave them and go away. What I want is to be able to hold a conservation with one person for around 20 minutes. Does anyone have any tips or have a list of topics of conversation that will help me speak longer with a person.

Well i talk alot...and i think alot...and i tend to have alot of conversations...part of that comes from reading....for example the more you read the more you learn about different things and aspects, so when you talk to people its like you taking certain knowledge from a book or even a subject and relaying it to others to see what they think then that one covnersation can lead to other conversations...because then it opens up the table to keep talking about different things....the key is just start a good conversation and that good conversation can lead to others especially if the person your talking to loves to talk sometimes they will help the situation last longer than 2 minutes. for example if you were to come and talk to me...i would be turn are conversation from 2 min to 30 min. I would stay away from talking to people who are kind of like you meaning they dont like to talk much or dont know what to say. uhm and as far as topics being on yahoo answers theirs always alot of topics you can get off here and bring those same topics up to people in your life...at work...etc.. like the question you just ask..ask someone else that question and ask them what are things they like to talk about and go from their...

Ask them about theirselves! What are their hobbies, interests, spiritual beliefs, favorite teams, goals, etc. Make a list of questions if necessary. (Only refer to it mentally when speaking to them!)
If you show people you are interested in them, they are more likely to be interested in you. Then they will start asking YOU questions! Before you know it 20 minutes have passed, and you've not only met your goal, but you have made a new friend as well!

you sounds VERY boring! Talk about whatever you like.
