Can you spark an interesting conversation with virtually anyone in any situation?

Answer 1

a conversation is a form of communication and a type that requires mutuality and common interest to know, to speak & listen as exchanging thoughts or sometimes emotion. i can start a conversation anytime i want to but the extent of discussion would depend on the vibe between me and the other person im talking to. imposing ones view is a big no no, and to talk incessantly is also a bad idea. learning to give each other a chance to speak up is necessary. more often its the ability to listen that is more important than the ability to initiate or spark a conversation.
i believe more people needs a listener more than a speaker.
i will listen, and let get to know you without judging you.

Answer 2

I'm very much a "people person" & I don't think I spark the conversation. Strangers will speak to me in stores, post office & so on--even on the street. Perhaps my profession has sharpened my senses, (or perhaps it's the other way around), because I can feel at once, the basic nature of the person, the mood they are in. It doesn't have to be a lengthy conversation, or necessarily in great depth--but to me--all communications are interesting. A brief chat with a grandpa about his grandchildren as he follows me in the produce section; even though I've never had any children, I feel his joy, (perhaps his only joy; many elderly people are truly quite lonely). He tells me their names, & shows me the teddy bears he's purchased for them. Would you think that interesting? Even in a long line at the bank; perhaps politics & the fascinating disparity of views. I've made good friends in this serendipitous way. In groups, I'm never standing on the sidelines. Without any pomposity whatsoever, yes, I can "communicate" with virtually anyone in any situation. Sometimes I initiate, but most often, not, unless I perceive someone is a bit "down" & needs a smile, a laugh.

Answer 3

I believe that I am able to start an interesting conversation, but of course that is in my mind. What do others think, that I don't know. I can be serious, philosophical, funny, and even imaginative. All good qualities, but my vocabulary is lacking some imaginative wording. Never the less, if a person will put up with my lower education, then I have some interesting points that I could express.

Answer 4

I think a lot of reading on all sorts of different subjects and topics could really help us in carrying on a conversation with strangers and friend alike with confidence. We shouldn't limit ourselves to certain books, genres and materials. Having knowledge on various things could really help us blend effortlessly into virtually any crowd we might happen upon.

Just remember to smile always and maintain good eye contact when we are speaking to people. People normally respond well to a smile, and when they see you have educated opinions on matters or subjects of their interests, the conversation that ensues will certainly be a meaningful and memorable one. And be truthful; don't ever pretend you know about something just so they won't think badly of you if you don't. People in general prefer plain honestly to deception and pretenses.

And never rush your words out when you speak. Give people time to digest the ideas behind your words. And by doing this you give yourself the time to think before you accidentally blurt out something really embarrassing!

Answer 6

Not always but often. The key is in encouraging the other to talk so you can respond to them. Always get the other person talking rather than you talk. It should be about 60/40. Having a wide range of knowledge helps to you in asking questions that inspire the other to tell you more.

Answer 7

Yes, I can and do on a daily basis, during all situations. Everyone has something interesting to say, if we take the time to listen.
I love people, getting to know them, and really taking the opportunity in life to learn from and interact with others.
Blessings and love

Answer 8

My way of starting a conversation, rest comes along-When was the last time you had an interesting conversation with stranger?

Answer 9

Usually you can get emotion into a conversation with two subjects, religion and politics. As long as you keep the conversation from being confrontational, it is interesting and often long.

Answer 10

That interests *them* or that interests *me*?

I can usually stimulate something in other people, but on occasion have to work hard to find other people's conversation uplifting. Especially if their interests closely orbit around fashion, TV soaps or certain topics I find simply vapid.

And yes, that may represent a failure on my part.
