This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Have you ever felt stuck in a conversation, unsure what to say next? You’re not alone — most people have been there. One simple way to keep things moving is to ask about something the other person enjoys. People love talking about themselves, and when you genuinely listen, it gives you clues about what to say next.

For example, you might ask about a hobby, a favorite show, or even what they like to do on weekends. If you notice a shared interest, dive a little deeper. That’s when conversations start to flow naturally, and the awkward pauses begin to disappear.

And don’t forget — it’s not just about them. Share something small about yourself, even if it feels minor. A quick story, a funny observation, or a simple opinion can make the exchange more balanced and engaging. People connect with authenticity, not perfection.

Even little moments, like discovering a shared hobby or laughing over a small mistake, make conversations memorable. They help you relax, feel confident, and enjoy the experience — instead of stressing over whether every word is right.

By practicing these small steps, you’ll notice that talking to new people becomes easier. Each conversation is a chance to grow, learn something new, and maybe even make a new friend.
