We’ve all been there - you’re in conversation, things are humming along nicely and then out of nowhere the awkward silence rears it’s head. At just that moment, your mind goes completely blank, you don’t know what to say and you can sense the other person’s eyes wandering as they look for someone else to talk to.
That scenario sucks so here are 5 tips to make sure you never run out of things to say in conversation
0:20 Play Reminds Me of
0:54 Ask open-ended questions
1:40 Use revival questions
2:37 Make a complimentary cold read
3:00 Flip the script and let them be the one to talk

Flirting with the bartender: “you come here often?”
😂
😂😂😂
Bro, why.
I swear, if she’s that type of cool girl, she’ll laugh and that’s the spot where you want to be! Now order a se+ on the beach and she’ll be all yours 😏
"You, come here often."
- Whats are you doing?
- Drinking
- Why?
- Because I want to forget
- What?
- The shame I feel for drinking
(Awkward silence)
- This reminds me of that time I was in Toranto

Why what?
Erm…
You remind me of Toronto…
1. Say ‘this reminds me of..’
2. Ask open ended questions.
3. Ask ‘why?’
3. Use revival questions - like ‘How do you guys know each other?’
5. Ask them about their future plans
6. Compliment them
7. Allow the other person to move the conversation by maintaining eye contact, or repeat the last words they said to encourage them to continue
Thank you,this reminds me about that radom guy who used to give these
Cool...So how do you like Toronto
Why?
8. Ask them where is point no. 4.
What are your future plans?
“I had a good time yesterday at the party.”
“So you had a good time yesterday?”
“Um yeah like I just said...
“Why?”
“...Because I went to the party...”
so anyways, how do you like toronto?

My dad, who is really great at socializing, taught me one rule:
Try asking your conversation partner questions about him/her. Not only will it lead to new conversation topics like they mentioned in the video, it also gives you time to think about how to follow up after they finish. As an introvert, this works greatly for me.
Till the person says I'm good you?
@@caramelese8520 usually it does not continue like that, but if it does thennn bruh it's gonna be awkward silence again
@@caramelese8520
after that talk about something that happened to you recently that might continue the conversation (in a good way obviously)
Ohh I got the same tip! He even used it on me without me realizing and after I finished talking he said “see”
Stuck with me since then and as a shy introvert, has helped me a lot
Please gimme some more tips like this I really die during a conversation have nothing to ask or say and the conversation ends right there with awkward silence from both sides

I tried that complimentary cold read technique at a work event - "What do you like to do for fun" and "You look like you're pretty into fitness" after introducing myself. The woman (a complete stranger) thought I was flirting with her and I ended up in a disciplinary with HR for inappropriate behaviour. Be very careful who you use this advice with.
"It seems you were hitting on that female coworker. What are your thoughts?"
"Don't worry, I have learned the lesson. So you all look like you enjoy eating a lot?"
@@danny.ray101 Not really. I had been talking shop all day and was looking for common ground. If it hadn't been a networking event and I wasn't already supposed to chat to people I didn't know I might have seen it that way.
@@JetBlackJester Then it's even more ridiculous...
Don't trust women.
@JetBlackJester
I think that talking about fitness to a woman brings up different connotations than if you talk about fitness to a man, quite simply because a man talking to a woman about her body is considered flirting or at least borderline usually, while guys are not as sensitive on the topic.
That said, at a setting where people are supposed to interact, and given the information I am aware of, I feel like she could have cut you a little more slack and tried to guage your intentions before coming to a conclusion.
In summary, I believe all parties involved could have done better, its just a little unfortunate that the learning experience for you was rather awkward.
Person: "So where are you from?"
Me: "Why?"
..............*awkward silence*
Me: "That reminds me of all the other awkward social interactions".

One of the best feelings is when you're so close to someone that even the awkward silences aren't awkward anymore and you're just enjoying one another's company.
Bro I feel that.. I'd love my date to be just like me, to enjoy and embrace the silence, exchanging smiles and eye contact, that kinda something

*runs away*
If one runs out of things to say, then that's perfectly ok. Just remain silent. Such is natural. Afterall, the person needs to get used to you when you're speaking and when you're not speaking to keep everything natural. There's a natural flow to everything. There's no need to force the conversation. If the conversation is forced, then it would appear that way too.
As the saying goes, Silence is golden!

@@loot3647 PAHAHAHA YALL LEAVE. IM CRYING
@@linasbubble why?
Could you make a video on how to end conversations effectively without being rude? Especially if the other person is too chatty and can't understand regular cues that you need to leave for another matter?
pkmaniac Just say something like "It was pleasure to meet you, but unfortunately I have to go". That's what I do.
pkmaniac what I do and works fine, is to answer their last question, start leading the conversation and show interest in what the other person says, then without letting them say anything else I just say something like "so yeah that's what I think (or something like this depending on the situation), anyway it was nice talking to you, gotta go now". Basically, interrupt yourself to end the conversation, not the other person
Key to is start off the conversation with a disclaimers saying "I'm on my way to ____" or "I've got some work/something to do" to let them know that you could leave at any moment with good reason. Then, when you actually want to end the convo, interrupt yourself after you finish your thought and mention that you have to leave for ______ that you already mentioned at the start. It makes exiting the convo a lot less awkward.
pkmaniac, just say "good bye"
Yell "SHUT THE F UP" and punch him/her
What I've found is that people looove to talk about themselves! If you want to keep the conversation going, act like everything they say is the most interesting thing you've ever heard and you want to hear every single detail.
You study commerce? What do you do? What job would you pursue in the future? What are the assignments like? Your parents made you study it, what do your parents do? What would you rather be studying instead, why? Every single piece of detail is a prompt that you can keep building on.
And most of all, remember that the other person is a human being too! Chances are they want to keep the conversation going too and they'll want to cooperate with you. While trying to come up with ways to keep it going, remember to actually listen to what the other party is saying as well!
That's the only thing I know how to do, keep a conversation alive ? Yeah, start one, might need to call help on that one.
That's not how it goes sometimes, sometimes if you show too much interest in other's topics, they gain on you and don't even wanna listen to you cz they think only their opinions and topics matter and yours not...
I always show interest in other's topics but as soon as i want to say something about myself or my interests, they don't reciprocate the same
Not everyone. I get really paranoid, irritated and even more closed off when people start asking me personal questions.
Me: How old are you?
Girl: 19
Me: when I was your age I was 21
why?

One thing I learned through my conversations, "some people are boring" don't push it, it they are exciting or excited in you, you'll never stop talking.
And some of those 'boring' people are protecting their peace or moving in silence jsyk! It's wise and safe to keep business to yourself and out of the streets.

The more I see videos like this, the more I understand that I just have anxiety. I follow this script, I don't do anything incredibly weird. But my mind puts everything under a microscope. And sometimes I just got to accept that I just don't vibe with everyone. Some conversations just arent going to be great.
It's been 13 years. Did you find out where you got the muffin?
So true, I used to deal with really bad social anxiety and like you I would second guess everything I said or did and felt disappointed when I didn’t vibe with someone or the convo was awkward (which was most of the time lol). Realising that you won’t get along with everybody, just because we’re all different, is so freeing.

1. Open ended questions (how do you like ?)
2. Ask about their motivativations with a simple "Why?" (Why did you decide to get into ?)
3. When the conversation stalls, use revival questions:
- "How you guys know one other?"
- "What's your story?". The person might give options on what specifically, then you can read which option was mentioned in a more excited tone of voice
- "What are your plans to the future?"
4. Complimentary cold read (you look like you are pretty into )
5. In a cold silence, deep breath and keep easy eye contact. Alternatively, repeat the last words they've said

@@Prizm44this is called a resume so people remember what they watched. Maybe understand some people might appreciate it??
I'd like to believe a couple out there having a casual conversation. When they got to the silence part, they recalled this video vividly and knew every tip from it. It'd be so funny for them to start talking about Toronto or "that thing reminds me off" and slowly realise that they've both seen the video. From there on, they watched the video again together just to laugh their asses off reading the comment section.
That might be the start of a long lasting relationship

Actually... that wouldn't be too bad a question. "How did you get an A?" That opens up lots of possibilities to start talking about studying, school, how he other one has felt in the past weeks, personal habits, things the other one is or isn't interested in, etc.

I just like to ask completely random questions out of the blue. I don't mean stuff like "Where'd you get your shirt from?" or something. I mean questions like "Is soup a drink?" or "Do you pour cereal or milk first?" since those types of questions usually lead to a debate, or just an interesting conversation. Also yes, both of those questions were food related. Food is always a good conversation topic, since most everyone enjoys food (or at least has an opinion on it). Some other good questions to ask are hypotheticals. I like these since they're pretty interesting, and if you run out of them it's really easy to just make one up. Ex: "Would you rather fight 10 5 year olds or 2 20 year olds?" or "Would you eat a gallon of mayonnaise for 10,000 dollars?" You can also elaborate on the question, or change it slightly depending on their answer, like instead of "Would you eat a gallon of mayonnaise for 10,000 dollars?" it'd be "Would you eat a gallon of mayonnaise for 3.5 dollars?" Sorry for the long comment, and thanks to anyone who read all the way through! Hoped this helped!
How to get friendzoned in just one interaction
@@R9naldoyeah 💀
My cousin always asks us these kinds of questions lol!
Its usually very crazy so we roll our eyes each time he starts with a 'would u rather...' 🤣🤣
Questions like, 'would u rather, marry/date a person who is shockingly ugly, (he also includes some kind of abnormality, like he has unstoppable diarrhea) but he has the best personality (factually) and loves u dearly , or would u rather marry someone who is impossibly gorgeous and rich but has the shittiest personality..
This is tame actually, compared to some of his other ones 😂🤣🤣
😂 love that approach! Not too personal yet allows someone to display their personality and go into other subjects.
@@R9naldo Best-friendzoned. I immediately would know this is a person I wanna have long lasting friendship with!
The people battling with social awkwardness have definitely mastered being funny! Just look at this comment section.
Devanshu Dev tru

U messed up the "wait" bro
I laughed
OMG SUCH AN UNDERRATED COMMENT HAHAHAHAHFJWMJDKQKD
Best comment in the world so Far lol
(I laughed so hard ty)
There’s nothing cooler than curating a vibe where you sit confidently with a dash of aloofness during those “awkward silences”
I do that practically all the time by accident bc of not often starting convos (unless with already established friends)
I disagree. I've been practicing this my entire life because I enjoy silence. But it hasn't made me "cool" or curate any kind of vibe that anyone else notices. Mainly it makes me forgettable, which is good. I don't want boring people to remember me, only the ones worth talking to.
I like to channel the Oz character from Buffy. Only ever say a few words at any one time, and only ever say a sentence or chime in now and then. Otherwise just sit quietly and impassive, chilling with a neutral smile or deadpan look.
Awkward silence
Me: the table reminds me of... Um, the tv reminds me of...
Friend: don't force yourself
Me: why?
ahahah this made me laugh out loud
priceless 😂👌🏽

"I have a plan... This is a good one".
*literally fall off a cliff
As someone with Autism, I struggle with maintaining conversations and there’s tone of awkward silences. It’s mostly due to the only questions I can think of in the moment being closed ended ones. I’m starting a new job this week and I’m gonna try and use some of these tips to help me.
I'd recommend gauging the tone of the comments section before implementing any of the suggestions from this video.
"how do you like Toronto"
"I've never been there"
"why?"
"because I live in another country"
"this reminds me of the time I didn't have anything to say"
Haha😂
💀💀💀
That reminds me that i live in a different country lol
except he misspelled toranto
Toranto lmao
"I have a crush on you."
"Why do you want to crush me?"
Toronto?
@@mthuree8171 so what's your story?
@@aye4413 why?
@@BlueberryPi how did you like it?
So how do y'all know each other? And why?
One time in high school English class this kid says to me “you’re from my English class right” 🙂
Why?
he probably really didn’t know you were a classmate. One time when i was in 5th grade, a classmate of mine recognised me outside school and called out to me but i genuinely couldnt remember who he was, but still went along with it lmao
Hazy no I mean we were sitting in the English class and he asked me that during class haha
Alinna Moon oh lol
@@alinnacrochets So how do you like Toronto?
me: says hi
girl: hey
[ no awkward silence]
me: so what’s up
a fascinating convo happens
then I wake up
Every DAMN TIME
Me: "as an introvert, I've had a lot of experience with awkward silence."
Therapist: "and what have you learned?"
Me: "How to weaponize it against my enemies."
Therapist: ......
Me: .... "So how do you know Toronto?"
There is something wrong with my mind… TheRapist is how I read Therapist.
I lived there once but I had to get out there u know because of the dream killing and the boring silence and the bloody hippies smoking weed
@@Twowheelsandadream4 💀💀

To pack even more tips into there: *So why do you know Toranto?*
"take a deep breath while maintaining easy eye contact"

Bruh everyone, even the ones who used to carry the convos, are gonna need to re-learn social skills once we come back from quarantine.
Why? 😂😂😂i kidding but really i must to rewatch at least once
By the way, where are you from? Im from SouthEast Europe, Montengro country
@@sokipoki6185 so how are u liking Toronto
@@cdc_pacochill3479 it's great. You look like you would be good with kids
@@willrgamer791 why?
@@crazymangoz9583 That reminds me of questions
I've come to learn a bit about this, and it took me a while to understand that it's not only me in a conversation that is struggling, it's both sides, (or in a group, all sides). This made me less worried about the responsibility of the conversation failing falling on me.
Friend: Hows your day?
Me: reminds me of vietnam
😂🤷♂️
Why
'nam lol. in a manliest voice ever
Lmaooo
Ahaahah😂😂
Girl: My sister died today
Me: Interesting, why?
Girl: “cries”

Me: How do you like Toronto?
Sharnoy lmao😂
Me: So do you like Toronto?
Girl: "continues crying"
Me: Did she like Toronto?
Sharnoy LMFAOOOO IVE NEVER LAUGHED THIS MUCH
Sharnoy These Toronto comments are killing me 😂😂
Her: Yeah my last five years were pretty rough. I lived in Toronto with my now ex-husband but he was really abusive and manipulative. When we finally divorced he also took my precious children. I don't like to be reminded of that time because I'm trying to move on.
Me:
Her:
Me: So what's your story? How do you like Toronto? I'm sure you'd be great with kids!😀
but why?
underrated comment imo
asking her "why" would be more hilarious
Very very underrated comment 😂😂😂😂😂

seeing that this video has so many views makes me feel less alone. we just all have some problems with social skills but hey, nothing that we can't overcome
