Many people feel out of place in a conversation when the subject being discussed is something that they know nothing about.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1
The key to good conversation is to be a good listener. People who love a particular subject will talk about it as much as possible. All you need to do is ask questions and pay attention to your body English.
Step2
Look the person who is talking in the eye, especially when asking questions. Smile when appropriate and use other facial expressions which project interest. If your face says "I'm bored", the speaker will see it, stop talking, and walk away. Their opinion
of you will not be favorable.
Step3
If you follow those simple rules, you will not only make friends, but learn quite a bit in the process. The other conversationalist will walk away smiling and thinking of how nice it was to find someone with enough intellect to discuss his/her subject.

on 3/8/2008 When I married my wife (35 years ago) she had a masters degree and I had "some college". I often had to attend events with people who were much better educated than me. This is the way I survived until I finished college, and still use it when necessary.
