How can I talk to people normally?

“The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention…. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words. ” When you’re quick to judge people and situations, you hinder the natural process of communication. The next time you find yourself talking to someone, step back and truthfully assess your beliefs when interacting. Try to put yourself in the shoes of the speaker. People love to be seen and heard so when you empathize with them, they will feel comfortable in your presence. When empathic listening becomes a habit, you’ll be able to better understand people’s struggles and why they do what they do.

be yourself and talk about stuff that interests you. do not fake it-it never ends well. just talk about casual stuff and if your guys energies match, you wont realise when you guys are getting along well. if you run out of things to talk about then bring up your feelings or how your childhood as been-just-be yourself,, even if things are getting awkward or if they seem to judge you-get comfortable with them and let them feel that way too. dont stress too much-they are just like you and who knows they might be wondering the same thing as you. chill it out, love.

I don’t understand what you mean by “normally”. However, I can give you some personal “tips” of how to talk to people without letting your insecurities or anxiety overcomes you. 1. Understand that EVERYONE is a little bit anxious when talking to other people, especially strangers. It’s not only you. 2. Talking to people you feel connected or comfortable can give you extra confidence. 3. Avoid conversations with people you don’t like or make you feel uncomfortable. 4. Comfort hasn’t to do with not being anxious. Being comfortable with someone -for me personally- means enjoying the conversation, saying what I really want to say -being honest-, be considerate about others needs and vice versa, be ready to listen to others and discuss, etc. 5. Remember that through a face-to-face discussion you ALWAYS can learn more things about yourself, others and about things. 6. You can start talking with people about things you find interesting. This will make you feel less anxious about the conversation. Good luck! You got this!!! :)

I don't know what you mean by normally, but I'll just tell you how I deal with it (not a very socialising type). If I don't really know the other person, I tend to treat them like I would treat my neighbour aunty (a very Indian term but basically someone I can't be impolite or odd with even if I want to.) I just try to be polite and interested and let them do most of the talking. Make eye-contact often, smile and be involved (nod your head, laugh). And a little bit here and there (This is easier when you relate to the topic of course... But otherwise maybe go with something like "oh yeah?") This works pretty well for most people, except maybe the kind who don't like to talk much.

By just being ourselves we can come into a situation more relaxed. We know that we have something to offer based on our past experiences. Some of those experiences match the experiences of others. We can find resonance there. We know that similarities are more common than differences - that's our commonality. We find that the more we have in common the more comfortable we feel. It's based on that knowledge that allows us to speak to people more normally. It gives us an opportunity to come from the heart and be real.

Personally, there is no way to speak to people normally. Everyone has their own ways of being nice, if we were all the same then life would be boring! When I talk to new people I just act like myself, if I seem to weird so be it but I do not believe in changing your persona just to appeal to others. Most importantly do not hide your weirdness! From what I learned through history, most of the most influential figures from the past were considered weird like Einstein and even big actors on the big screen. Be yourself!

Talking to people normally is kind of a misnomer. Learning to approach strangers really just takes practice. You just need to keep doing it. Work is often the best place to practice this skill. Interacting with multiple people per day will certainly give lots of practice working with all kinds of different customers in all kinds of fields. Talking to people normally is really just a force of habit that is not so common these days because there are many alternatives to speaking in person. Jobs that still offer this chance are certainly boons for the working class in America.

Remember that often, other people want to talk to you 'normally' as well! It is natural to feel a bit anxious talking to people. Even if it feels out of your comfort zone, a great way to develop confidence in your ability to talk to people is simply by practicing. This doesn't have to be full-on conversations to begin; instead, it might look more like asking the barista how their day is going when you go for a coffee, or asking your neighbour how their summer is going. If you start small and get confidence over time, you may eventually find yourself not even thinking about talking 'normally' in conversation!

Smiling. when we smile, it’s the instant ice breaker. And it’s so simple to do. So practice letting your smile “fill your face.” Slow down. When we’re nervous, we tend to speed up the way we talk. When we slow down though, it gives people time to connect with you. Change your tone. peak with more energy — and it did WONDERS. Try taking whatever level you’re at when you normally talk, and add 50% more energy into your voice. What feels weird to you is NORMAL to everyone else. Note their reactions and your reactions. Did the person you’re talking to start smiling and laughing because of your energy? Or did they retreat because you made them uncomfortable? How did you feel while you were smiling or talking slowly?

It's helpful to act like you're simply talking to a friend, but maybe a friend that you don't know too well. Never assume you know where they're at, and always ask open ended questions to ensure that you get as much of a genuine answer as possible. If you start asking close-ended questions, the person might feel pressured to simply agree with what they think the "correct" answer is to your question. So, instead of "Did that make you feel sad?", use "how did that make you feel?" Compassionate boundaries + no assumptions = successful conversation. And empathy, empathy, empathy!! We don't have to understand to be able to help.
