Conversation is simple and easy. We share things with others, and others share things with us. It doesn't always work out this simply, of course, but this is who we are at our cores. Humans are social creatures; we share. Verbal communication played a significant role in all your biggest life achievements. The sexiest guy or girl you've dated. The most money you ever made. The happiest you've ever been. Didn't all of these come, in whole or in part, from some amount of conversation? Who are your best friends? Your closest relatives? And how did they become so close and important to you? From conversation! So, knowing how important conversation is, why do so many of us struggle with it? We think too damn much. About? - What the other person might think of us - How we might sound stupid - If this is a dumb question - Possibly being turned down for something - The fear of the unknown Eliminate these fears, and conversation is easy. These fears are mostly based on a lack of knowledge. A lack of knowledge on how to start a conversation and how to keep conversation flowing
