Here's a question for ya, personal forum. What makes a good conversation, or how do you keep people interested. Because some of the time I think what I'm talking about is interesting, but some of my closer friends are not so responsive to it. What do most people talk about?

I hate that. Like, it'll go both ways too. Someone will talk about something for hours and you'll be like ya ya , shut up. But then I'll talk about someting and they'll be like 0_0. So..... I'd say, find that common ground. There's atleast one thing you and someone else like to talk about so just go by that.

ah i know. i will sit there and listen to people talk about the same thing over and over again and then i'll change the subject to something and they'll say "yeah." i don't understand how some people are entertained for hours

I feel like who you're meant to hold a long conversation with, you will. And if you don't, then you're not really meant to be talking to them?

Depends on who you're talking to. Some people I'm really awkward around, and others, it flows. Also depends on whether you're on the phone. My boyfriend tells me I'm pretty awkward over the phone but face to face is just fine.

If the people you're talking to aren't really interested in what you have to say then they're probably not worth talking to.

People only start conversations to talk about themselves. Fact.
...or something like that.

Conversations should be organic and you should therefore never know what you are going to talk about. You should feel comfortable enough with a person/s to bring up any random point.

You just know when a conversation clicks with someone, and from there you don't even have to think about it.

i like this view. i think part of the problem is some of my friends are just bitches. i was told yesterday that everything i say is uninteresting because i was talking about holograms, hallucinations, and music.

both? haha

It's hard to have a conversation with a dick in my mouth.

I agree. Conversation is a strange thing. Most of the time I feel like it's a job to keep someone's interest. I actually think sometimes there really isn't much worth saying for a human being. So basically, we talk shit since we need something to say.

A good conversation usually involves some laughter - and something both people can relate to. For instance, if you are an engineer, you should realize most people aren't, and will have no idea about the terms your using.
conversations are two way streets. it doesnt matter how hard you try if the other person is not reciprocating. you're just wasting your time so stop trying.

Gossip, everyone loves hearing some good dirt on people even if they won't admit it.
This is a silly question. Take people into your world- if you can't even entertain people through your enthusiasm then you might wanna re-evaluate your life.

The best ice breaker is boob talk.
or just start dancing and then you can talk about your amazing dance moves
