Interactions with people are inevitable in life, and sometimes the first sentence can determine the depth of the conversation. A well-read opening statement is likely to make both parties become close friends; an unpalatable remark is likely to destroy the atmosphere of the conversation and lose the opportunity to make friends.

Share a few tips to help you open up situations quickly and improve your social skills with strangers.

1. Make a good opening. When talking to strangers for the first time, be sure to relax and create a relaxed and open atmosphere instead of talking about irrelevant content. You can find topics from the props around you, find topics from the person, or find topics from the state of that moment. For example, "You look in great shape. Do you go to the gym often?"

2. Home game mentality. This kind of psychological suggestion can help you overcome your nervousness about socializing with strangers. Under the psychological suggestion of "this is my home court", your aura will strengthen, change from passive to active, and start chatting smoothly.

3. Do a good job of accumulation. Some problems naturally have the feeling of "I am the master", so you might as well use this to cut into it. For example, "How do you feel about today's activities?" "How do you feel about the environment here?" "Do you like the music?" You can also talk about the topic of "eating", etc.

4. Enable multi-person chat. If there are multiple people present, be sure to single out the key players in the room. Targeting the topic you opened directly to him can effectively avoid the embarrassment of no one responding after you speak. This key person can be the person who organizes the game, an active member within the game, or the person who is the most eloquent and loves to tell jokes.

5. "One question and two answers." Compared with a "question and answer" conversation, it will make the other party feel more relaxed. In other words, in addition to answering other people's questions themselves, you should also expand on the topic slightly and say some relevant information. This way, others can easily pick up the conversation and continue the conversation.

6. Learn to listen. After the other party has finished speaking, don't make a simple summary. Instead, grasp the key words in the other party's words and respond to the issues that the other party cares about most. Make the other person feel noticed.

7. "Cold reading" and "buzz". Cold reading is to carefully observe the characteristics of the other party. To praise means to praise in a timely manner. While satisfying the other person's need to be valued, show your kindness and create a sense of pleasure.
