I am definitely of the latter.
This is my biggest struggle in my head when it comes to talking with people : don't talk about myself too much, don't talk about other people because I don't want to be a gossip, don't be lame and talk about the weather, don't be too nosy, so what is there left to talk about?!?
If you find yourself in the same boat, try using one or two of these questions to get the conversation going.
1. What’s one of your earliest memories?
2. What’s the most trouble you’ve ever gotten in?
3. What is your relationship with your parents like?
4. What’s something you always wanted to do but haven’t ― and why haven’t you?
5. What was your hardest breakup like?
6. Growing up, what did you think you wanted to do for a living?
7. Who is the last person you said "thank you" to? What were you thanking them for?
8. Who are your role models?
9. What’s the best trip you’ve ever taken?
10. What's the worst way someone has hurt you?
11. What is your biggest frustration?
12. What is your favorite photo of yourself? Describe it, and explain why it's your favorite.
13. What do you want your funeral to be like?
14. What were some of your biggest struggles or insecurities in high school?
15. What would your perfect day be like? Describe it.
16. What advice would you give to your younger self in only 3 words?
17. Have you ever been fired from a job? If yes, why?
18. If you could say 'thank you' to one deceased person who would you choose and what would you thank them for?
19. Do you have quiet time every day? If so, what does that ritual look like? If not, why don't you give yourself at least five minutes of quiet time a day?
20. Do you agree that people are primarily interested in themselves and not in others? Why or why not?
What was your least favorite question on there? What question intrigued you the most?
Get curious - ask questions,
