I need ideas for starting, extending, deepening, and sometimes salvaging a conversation.
The art of conversation. Sometimes it is easy to begin with strangers, then I can be good at asking questions, it is always easier to dig into others, than talk about myself.
But telling stories about me (I have a lot) they often seem to fall flat, I feel like I get a dull stare. I need openings, starters, the weather? .......but it is sometimes hard to follow that up, if it doesn't seem received.
Or worse, when faced with anger, I lose my focus fast, I get flustered, confused, noise, I call it, that loud stuff in my head, that gets in the way. I lose my track, I mumble, my eyes go out of focus, I feel suddenly stupid, vulnerable, make a bad answer. I scramble for my direction.
It seems that if I were to keep eye contact, slow myself down a bit, be more present, concentrate on the words without the panic, I could keep focus. |
