i don't know how to talk to people
I'm really struggling with talking to people. I just don't know what to say or how to start a conversation.
Ah, communication can indeed be an art form. The key, however, is authenticity. People appreciate sincerity above all. Start by asking them about their interests.
That's helpful, thank you, but what if I'm not that interested in what they have to say?
Then that is a challenge you must overcome. As a fashion designer, I must often engage with topics that don't personally interest me. Being able to listen is as important as being able to speak.
So, it's like wearing different hats and being adaptable to different situations?
Precisely. Just as one would select the proper attire for an occasion, one must adapt their conversational approach to suit the interaction.
I guess it's easier for you. You're successful and have a lot of experience. Sometimes I feel like I'm not interesting enough to contribute to a conversation.
Do not underestimate yourself. Every person has a unique perspective to offer. Remember, confidence is more convincing than any costume I can create.
Thank you for the encouragement. Do you have any final tips for someone like me?
Practice makes perfect. Start with small talk and gradually work your way up. As for my secret? Always have a mirror up your sleeve – metaphorically. Reflect what you observe in others, and they will open up to you.
