Tips to Help You Get Started in Easy Conversations
Have you ever been through a difficult conversation? Probably not. We all have had those conversations in our lives - the ones where we lost our temper, had an argument or two, and did not know what to do. Here are some tips for surviving these difficult conversations when you first get started with people.

Difficult conversations are an excellent way of practicing self-discipline, if you play your cards right. The best way to get started with difficult conversations is to practice your skills. This is something that few people do, however it is a vital skill that will help you overcome any difficulties that you may face in conversations with people. By practicing, you will build up your confidence and be better able to tackle difficult situations when you get started with people.
The reason that practice is so important is because there's no guarantee that you're going to be successful when it comes to starting a conversation with a new person. You never know what they're going to do. They might turn you off instantly with a rude comment, or they might not want to do any talking at all. In the case of the latter, how do you hope to approach someone without losing your cool?
The best way to deal with situations like this is to relax. You should never feel threatened or intimidated in any situation. If you make yourself tense and edgy, then you're going to make your situation worse. It is better to be nonchalant and calm than to show nonchalant and nervous. This is especially important when you're getting started with someone new.
Even if the person is a good listener and treats you well, you need to listen carefully when you're getting started with them. It is impossible to let your guard down completely when you're talking to someone new. If you do, you will probably forget some important points that you have discussed beforehand and this could seriously damage the relationship you have with this person.
If you are having a conversation with a stranger, then you need to pretend to be nice. Pretending to be nice is a great way to ease the tension between the two of you. Even if you are really not that nice to begin with, it never hurts to put a bit of nice gestures out there in order to break the ice. Remember, you don't have to do anything that you're embarrassed about.
One thing you can do to start off good conversations - regardless of whether you're talking to someone new or someone you know - is to bring up topics of common interest. This way, you get to make your partner feel more comfortable. For instance, if you know that this person likes sports, then maybe you could talk about something interesting you did during the course of the day at work. Or maybe you could talk about what you ate for dinner last night, or where you went for vacation.
Also, when you're starting out with someone, let them do most of the talking. It will help you relax because you won't have to worry about how you look or what you should be saying. However, as you start getting to know each other better, it's okay to lean in a bit and give your partner feedback on the things that he or she has said. This way, you both feel a deeper connection - one that will carry over into future conversations. Just remember that if you're having a difficult conversation - don't be afraid to apologize and tell your partner how you truly feel.
