Let me see if I can articulate what I am thinking now!
Is it possible to talk and make sure that we are not boring the other person by talking whatever we wanted to talk?
Did it come near to what I wanted to say…?
Naaa - not exactly….it's confusing!
Okay…once again!
Is there a faint possibility to talk and not bore the person that you are talking to!!
Now?
How about a ….NO!
Okay…last attempt!
Can I talk to anyone, whatever I want to talk, and can I do that in a way that I don't bore them?
Well! To hell with this!
Why don't I take a post to do this?…Okay..! here I go!
Everyday, there are quite a few instances…I have people talking to me for a while and all I can see is there mouth moving! Because, what they talk is no way related to my vicinity of interest, inclination, knowledge, affinity…or whatever it is. They would just talk and talk and talk without even paying attention to the fact that I am not listening to them!!
I used to scream….
"Oh God! Can't you instill some slightest amount of sense in to this people's brain cells? Can't you see that my responses are just smiles, sounds and start-and-end with just one-word most of the times!"
For once, God laughed the heavenly a** out and said "Try listening to yourself"!!
May be I sound like that to a lot of people! "HELL! YEAH!" ….a crowd shouted right behind me!!!
Good that I have that infinitesimal sense to acknowledge it.
"Could it be possible to change?" I asked myself…!
"Why don't you write a blog on it? May be you will follow atleast for the heck of it once you post it …" said the idealist in me!
A few sensible moments on anything would lead to decent way out of a tough situation.
What do we have here?
Target: Conversation
Constraints:
1. We need to make sure we don't bore the opponent (sometimes it could be a crowd)
2. We need to gain something out of it.
Every situation in this world is not a win-win kind. However, we can try our best and proceed to the maximum extent we can!
The solution here… obviously lies on the Topic of conversation!
The key to talk and not bore someone is to engage them on a topic of their own interest….! The most amazing thing about people around you is that the area of specialization and knowledge is markedly different from one soul to another. And the best part is that, to a certain extent it would overlap with yours, depending upon your versatility and tolerance limit….Well, in this case even if you are not knowledgeable on their interests, you would end up learning something from them…there you go…you gain something.
Now…am I missing something here….if I keep on talking about their interests…? What about mine? How in the world would I get to talk what I want to talk? I mean my interests my hobbies…my inclinations…affinities etc.
I have one word for you! Reciprocation!
Most of the people reciprocate when you listen to them. When you talk about their interests, find a way to connect to your passions, your interests. When you do so? It's easy for the other to respond and react to your affinities. Don't you think? Or am I missing something?
What about the people who don't reciprocate and not listen to your interests and talks? Well, you know what? They really don't know what they are missing! And after all you have gained something by listening to them…don't you think?
Life is simple! All you have to do is to acknowledge your likes and dislikes and practice it on others as well. Once you know how not to something that you dont want to see from others, its get beautiful!
And the next time I bore you…make sure that the sounds, one-word responses and "get the hell outta here" looks ….as obvious as you can!
