I dont like most of these. If i meet someone randomly at party or work pantry, im not going to ask them "tell me about yourself" or "what personal passion projects are you working on…" those are loaded questions and seem wayy too formal for someone u just met. I am just looking for ice breakers or soft convo starts with folks i meet quickly for a quick chat at work etc
I did like "working on anything exciting recently.." it seems like a normal thing to ask. Or "did you see xxx viral video?" Those are fun and light and not too deep
If someone is going to ask me to tell them about myself I am going to ask why. My life is a large subject and i will need to narrow it down to something specific or i will talk for hours.
because I work from home, I'm really isolated. I'd like to engage more but in all honesty, being asked a million questions makes me recoil. Like off the bat I can't think of anyone really who is a role model to me etc etc. My family is one big mess that I stay away from so any questions about family is uncomfortable for me. I do like being around people if it happens gradually and organically, but being thrust into a social situation is just ugh lol
To most of these questions, my answer is N/A. Or, I can't think of an answer on the spot. Hence I would not ask those questions myself as the other person would answer N/A or can't think of an answer on the spot.
I can relate! Engaging in conversations can be tough; many folks freeze up when trying to inject humor. I remember feeling awkward at a gathering, worried my jokes might fall flat, but once I leaned into the moment, it turned out great!
Joining the Sense of Humor Improvement Program by Habit10x really opened my eyes to how humor can foster connections. It’s all about being authentic and timing, not just punchlines. Keep embracing those social moments; laughter is the best way to break the ice!
What if the questions feel weird to ask or is that my subconscious mind or it's because it's unfamiliar and BTW I am introvert I don't like talking sometimes.
Can I ask again is OK to be just silent around ppl u don't know or don't really have a connection
Love these! Thanks for all the great ideas for pulling context from the surroundings. This gets my creative juices flowing to come up with more of my own. 🙂
You have just saved my life after watching two of your videos. Living too long in Sweden has destroyed my social creativity and skills, I had forgotten how we got to meet random people in Greece <3 I love you! Take care!!

Summary: Ask open ended questions!!!
I can't bear being in a room with people who don't talk I always say nothing to break the ice.
Do you have a book on about conversations
HEY VANESSA YOU'RE VIDEOS ON BODY LANGUAGE INCLUDING HOW TO TALK TO ANYONE. AND I HAVE LEARNT. THOUGH VIDEOS. ALMOST FORGOT HOW ARE YOU.
“Tell me about you.”
That’s probably the most anxiety producing question someone can ask me 😳
She started with an opener I'm personally appalled by when used on me. "Tell me about yourself". Ugh…stop
..Isn't she great? 😁😃
Thanks!

I would hate it if someone asked me these questions 😕 sounds like an interrogation
Thanks for reminding me I don't have a meaningful life 😅
The way she grouped toddlers with extroverts 😂
tysm for your help 🙂
Hi am working with u in the Same building but u never noticed me before…any way what's your greatest fear bumkin ?
because I work from home, I'm really isolated. I'd like to engage more but in all honesty, being asked a million questions makes me recoil.

If someone said “tell me about you” I would have no idea what to say! 😂😂😂 it’s way too open ended!!
I find yes/no questions are usually dead in the water.
I don't think she needs to start a conversation. Straight to business, she's highly attractive. 😂 or touch, or 😘
I have had so many people how much they hate “tell me about you” when I say it. So I am going to avoid that one tip.
How do you know the host is a good one
Restaurants, another good one. Also helps to find a good new place you've never heard of.
Hello, Class.
Thank you. informative
How do you shut an extrovert up!!!
These are stupid.
To most of these questions, my answer is N/A. Or, I can't think of an answer on the spot. Hence I would not ask those questions myself as the other person would answer N/A or can't think of an answer on the spot.
These are ok but not good for shy people. They seem aggressive for both the person approaching and the approachee
Wow ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hello guys and Vanessa could I ask
What if the questions feel weird to ask or is that my subconscious mind or it's because it's unfamiliar and BTW I am introvert I don't like talking sometimes.
Can I ask again is OK to be just silent around ppl u don't know or don't really have a connection
Thx bye❤❤🎉
Asking good questions often leads to great conversations. I like to ask, “What’s the kindest thing a stranger has done for you?”
❤
Love these! Thanks for all the great ideas for pulling context from the surroundings. This gets my creative juices flowing to come up with more of my own. 🙂
Vanessa is so fire
This is fire
I think this is nice conversation starter in case everyone you have in reach is mutually kidnapped..
You have just saved my life after watching two of your videos. Living too long in Sweden has destroyed my social creativity and skills, I had forgotten how we got to meet random people in Greece <3 I love you! Take care!!
