<p>I am a university student who are not good at chatting with friends. Sometimes I want to chat with them, but the problem is that I can't find the topic. Can someone give me some suggestions please.</p>
<p>College basketball is getting hot. Research a team, watch some games with them, find some people who like the same team as you.</p>
<p>Pour yourself a scotch or three when you wake up.</p>
<p>eww, spectator sports. So boring. Don’t do that.</p>
<p>Get yourself pumped on caffeine. Go swimming. Play soccer. Join a literary circle.</p>
<p>Just find some people that share common interests as you and you won’t have to think about it. I know in the beginning of going out with my gf i had to struggle to find stuff to talk about, now since we got closer it is effortless!</p>
<p>Is English your second language? I used to have this problem a couple of years ago, and now it feels as if it’s impossible to ever not have anything to talk about. I recommend that you first ditch the idea of finding a “topic”- you want to have conversations with your friends, not political discussions(or at least not yet). In other words, trying to initiate a conversation with a topic in mind is counter productive, instead, you want to ask questions; ask them how their day was, what they had for breakfast, what they did the previous night. The only way to become a better conversationalist is to first become a better listener, so for now, familiarize yourself with what they say and how they say it, and it will eventually come naturally!</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>^ I agree that it’s a good idea to start off with basic questions like “How are you?” and “Did you do anything fun over the weekend?” Usually questions like that will lead into a more extended conversation. It also helps if you’re involved in a lot of activities. The more you’re involved in, the more likely it is you will have common experiences with the people you want to talk to, and the more you can talk about.</p>
<p>Also, if you’re looking for a good icebreaker, you can do something like watch a popular TV show and then the next day you can ask people things like, “Hey, did you see last night’s episode of The Office? Wasn’t it so funny when…?” Things like that.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>lmao. </p>
<p>Just talk.</p>
<p>Just say something ridiculous. Then they will be confused and then explain your crazy idea.</p>
<p>
LOL you sound like someone i’d like to talk to.</p>
<p>
Or better yet, when they ask you what you mean, say something even more confusing. That way they think you are crazy.</p>
<p>Get hooked on college basketball. After that, be hooked on the NBA playoffs and the MLB regular season.</p>
<p>If you really don’t know what to say, I think start with a hi will be good! As for myself, I will say hello first and then maybe can find something else to talk about, like how is your day today? and maybe you can talk about what is new around these days.
I hope these advice can help you!! good luck^^</p>
<p>Ask them how they’re doing, how their day was, what classes they’re taking. People love to talk about themselves.
Read the newspaper or a popular magazine too and you’ll find lots of interesting topics.</p>
<p>I agree with the basic “how are you” “how was your day” etc.</p>
<p>But definitely also get involved!!!</p>
<p>Join some activities, fill your days with doing things/exploring/etc. Don’t just sit around.</p>
<p>If you are up and about you’re bound to meet some hilarious people or encounter interesting situations you can talk about later. </p>
<p>You’ll be surprised how easy it is to find something to talk about once you learn how to ask about someone else’s day, and also how to fill yours :).</p>
<p>Have you ever had any interest in going Greek?</p>
<p>I would also think that you should try and listen to people. Sometimes, the best way to start a conversation with people is after you have listened to them. Find a good group of friends, and try and be more confident.</p>
