When chatting, sometimes you encounter the embarrassing situation of not being able to find a topic. What should you do at this time? This article will introduce you to several first-aid topics in cold chat situations to help you deal with this situation easily.
1. Ask the other person if they have done anything interesting recently
This is an open question. Allow the other person to be free to share their recent life experiences. If the other person’s answer is relatively simple, you can ask further questions to learn more details and feelings.
2. Talk about common interests and hobbies
If you already know some of the other person’s interests and hobbies, you can start the topic here. If you don’t have common interests or hobbies, you can also ask the other person if they have any new things they want to try or travel plans, etc.
3. Talk about work/study
Ask the other person if there is anything new in work/study recently, or if they have encountered any difficulties. This topic can give you a deeper understanding of the other person's living conditions and psychological conditions.
4. Talk about current hot topics
You can talk about some popular movies, music, sports events, etc. These topics are usually easier to resonate with and can help you understand each other better. .
5. Ask the other person’s opinion
If you have been chatting for a while but still can’t find a suitable topic, you can directly ask the other person their opinion. For example, asking them what they think about a certain news event or social phenomenon can inspire both parties to think and start an in-depth discussion.
It is not terrible to encounter a cold spot in a chat. As long as you have a few alternative topics, you can easily resolve the embarrassment. The above five topics are relatively common and practical, and I hope they can help everyone cope with various chat situations.
