1. Be a Confident Conversationalist.
Build your self confidence and do not allow nervousness to invade your inner emotions. Building self confidence to be a good conversationalist accounts to excessive practice and demonstration. Feel free, after all you were not the only new guy in the area. Listen to what people say and contribute according to your understanding and view. Some people do not talk to you simply because they doubt your reactions toward people, and so if you try to break out of that shell you will see how people consider you much more than you dreamt of.
2. Be a very informative conversationalist.
Conversation does not mean a whole ramble, or just simply a random opinion bank. If you want to lead the conversation, be very informative and knowledgable about the topic. Listen to others view or knowledge to debate or agree with the fact. Whenever things started becoming boring, switch to another topic automatically and order to spit out some view, as a good conversationalist.
3. Be talkative.
Self talk is one of the attributes of confidence talkative people. Practice to be talkative in your personal room. Listen to the radio, watch news and read magazines as much as you can. Knowing much things in the society and politics, celebrities and hobbies, will give you a wide range of things to say. You just can't be dumb or bored among other individuals.
4. Learn to Get Off Your Comfort Zone so often.
You can't just continue to live very preserved and cool. Get off your comfort zone. Shout, jump, make jokes, wear shoes incorrectly and more fun that people will not abuse but feel excited in your presence. Whenever you are out of that comfort zone, regardless of the situation, you will never get short of things to say. Just consider living a simple with some limits on people and places in order to be a good conversationalist.
5. Consider your body language in conversation.
Body languag counts alot in order to look more thriving, when it comes to conversation. Listening; relax, face the person who is talking to you, make eye contact and hold it, all to show that what he or she is saying is very interesting. Talking; relax again, if you are talking to one person, focus into their eyes and never stop until you made a period of that narration. Alternatively, you can look down and demonstrate your narration by drawing lines on the ground with a stick (this is when you feel anxious and the person also, to hold eye contact). Consider that when people cannot hold eye contact with you, do not just look into theirs without caution. The action is that, learn to look side ways in order to give them chance to be composed in the conversation.
6. Be True to Your Person.
Be Yourself and Express your views the way you see them. Do not pretend to be someone else, for you will not do better whenevr you entered someone shoes. Do not pretend that the topic, or what someone expressed assertively is not offensive to your person. Do not allow your ego to be drown down, unless you feel like it is the best way to go.
7. Keep Doing it.
I always advice my clients that, whenever things become so personal as of self improvement. Continues practice makes the most impact more than any other charm. When you fail to be a good conversationalist today, do not fear facing the same thing tomorrow. Regardless of how unnoticed your improvement seems like, you cannot have a the same tomorrow today.
Do not Fear Mistake. Be in summary and listen to your mind. In order to be a good conversationalist, you must develop a personal interest to people. Before you become interesting you must be interested. So consider people's opinion a lot to move on the track.
