Have great conversations with others

Communicate very clearly when it is their turn to talk.
Ask questions that require responses. For example, “How was your day?”

Give a strong suggestion for what your conversation partner should talk about by asking an open-ended question.
For example, the question, “What did you do this weekend?” will signal to your conversation partner to talk at length about their weekend, instead of giving a one-word answer.

Let your mind move faster than your mouth.
Pause for a moment and put your thoughts together whenever you are not sure of what to say. You will sound much more logical and no one will mind a short delay.

Share your thoughts, personal stories, or anything that others are interested in or are willing to know.
For example, sharing a story about your high school days with your new boyfriend can inspire them to share theirs too. Similarly, sharing your opinion, impressions, and speculations on certain issues can, in turn, encourage others to share theirs.

Gracefully bring the conversation to an end when you notice others are getting uncomfortable or bored.
For example, end the conversation if you are asking multiple open-ended questions and getting only short responses.

Seek help from a professional counselor if you feel your issues with conversations are mostly caused by social anxiety or self-confidence issues.
