Develop Your Curiosity When Meeting New People for Better Communication
When you meet new people, you probably spend a lot of time focusing on how you look and how you sound. However, if you want to make a real connection with someone, take your mind off yourself and start taking an interest in them.
As Business Blog Inc. explains, most people like it when someone else takes an interest in them. It’s easy to view small talk as a boring joke that you have to endure, but most people actually have something interesting to ask about. The first time you meet someone, show curiosity. More often than not, they will be ready to answer:
If you can get the other person to talk and get them to talk, chances are good that they will be attracted to you. Be interested and open-minded; ask questions that spark their imagination and spark conversation.
Sure, coming up with topics to ask about can be daunting to begin with, but they also tend to snowball. If you can manage to talk to the other person about a hobby, career prospects, or interests, you can probably ask more about that. All you have to do is find one of their passions and the floodgates are open.
