Do you have many friends? Do you have fun together? Do you feel comfortable when talking to others? Have you ever found it hard to make new friends? Here are some tips for good interpersonal communication:
Remember other people's names. Make a great effort to do this when you first meet someone new.Then when you meet again, you will easily make that person feel comfortable if you remember his or her name. It shows you care.
Smile. Make sure you smile and greet others in a friendly way, especially the first time you meet them. Smiling can be a passport to good communication.
Find a proper topic. Talk about the weather, sports or news. You can also ask questions or tell jokes. The main thing is to find a topic you are both interested in.
Be a good listener. Good listeners show others that they are interested in the conversation. People will be happy to talk to you if you are listening carefully. One simple way to show you are a good listener is to make eye contact.
Be honest. Tell people the truth. No one wants to waste time talking to someone who is not honest.
Keep your promises. Try not to be late. If you set a time to meet your friends, do your best to be on time. If you have to change your plan or cancel it, let your friends know ahead of time. People will trust those who always keep their promises.
