Thanks for sharing this with us! I agree…. initiating is a more difficult task. Sometimes we work on developing a persons to initiate a conversation based off what their conversational partner might be interested in speaking about. Teaching strategies to assist in gathering info on this person by observing the person, reflecting on past experiences with the person, listening to the topics of conversations they share, etc. For example, if a conversation partner was wearing a Chicago Bears hat, we ask questions, make statements about the Chicago Bears. Or if last time we saw the person they told us they were getting a new car, we could follow up and ask questions about the new car. Developing an ability to initiate a conversation with someone based of topics they might want to talk about can be helpful in successfully initiating conversations with others. Love hearing from you!

The hardest part is initiating converation. I will sometimes talk to people where a formal structure supports it (shop assistants etc. I will reply if spoken to and I speak to my family. I have no idea how to be interested in someone elses interests and cannot feign interest.Generally I prefer just to listen to conversations that are happening or not if I don’t feel like it. I often think of things I would like to say but cannot say them if I have not first been spoken to by or introduced to the other person.
