Have you ever found yourself in a roomful of people, with no one to talk to?

Digital technology and social media may have made it much easier to reconnect with old friends and family members, but what has it done to everyday conversation?

We live in hyper-connected world where most of our communication is now done through email and chats, and not so much in person anymore. Weve become too reliant on technology that were starting to lose touch of the real art of verbal (face to face) communication.

While its true that not all people have the gift of gab, thats no excuse to not master the art of conversation. Having real time face to face communication is not only a crucial element in a thriving community, its also the pillar of any healthy relationship. Through verbal conversation, we become more honest, open, and willing to foster a connection with other people.

Do you still remember what it was like 20, 30 years ago when we didnt have the internet to talk to each other and our daily lives revolved around conversations and people? Whether it was with the postman making his rounds, or the neighbor tending to his lawn, it seemed like there was always something to talk about. And it didnt matter if you talked about the news, the weather, or even the latest neighborhood gossip, there was always this sense of connection and belongingness that came from those small conversations.

Conversations help bridge the gap between people. It knits a community together and makes it stronger. It becomes the way to better understanding something or someone. When you ask questions or give answers, you learn new information that you can use to make your life better. It also allows you to relive someone elses experience and feel his or her emotions, like when you hear a story from their past or listen to their plans for the future. Most importantly, conversations give you the unique opportunity to see things through different perspectives. Without conversation, there would be no interaction.

Im not saying that digital interaction accounts for nothing. In fact, its made the world much smaller. But lets face it. It still doesnt compare to having a face-to-face conversation with someone. Sure, you may text, email, chat, all you want, but youll find that the bond just isnt the same. It will always feel like somethings lacking when you dont converse in person.

Just like any art, conversation requires practice and dedication. Contrary to popular belief, the best conversationalists are not always the smoothest or smartest talkers, its actually the best listeners. Because at the end of the day, good conversations are not monologues or personal speeches, theyre a two-way exchange of ideas that ultimately turns into respect.

If engaging in deep and meaningful conversations have become a dying art, how then do we save it? Here are 10 simple things that you can intentionally do to make your conversations mean something.

Stop multi-tasking. Admit it. Most of the time, our minds are half in a conversation and half somewhere else. Dont let multi-tasking taking away the joy of being in the moment with someone youre sharing a conversation with.

Ask the right questions. Get the other person to share with you their thoughts by asking open ended questions. Start your questions with the 5Ws (what, who, where, when, why) and be amazed with what you can learn from the other person.

Focus on the other person. Conversations are not the avenue for you to talk about yourself non-stop so try not to treat it as your very own personal talk show. Instead, take time to focus on the person youre talking to and what he or she has to say.

Respect the other persons experiences. Its very rare that youll have the same exact experiences as the other person. It might be similar in some aspects, but even then, that should not be an excuse for you to hijack the conversation. No matter how tempting it is, give them the space to tell their personal story, how they want to tell it.

Avoid advocating for your in the beginning of the conversation at least. Dont see this as your chance to talk about something that youre interested in, but the other person clearly isnt. Try to find your middle ground if you want to keep the conversation going.

Make your point once and leave it at Sometimes, it just feels natural to make the same point over and over again. But repeating yourself doesnt mean that youre passionate about something, it shows that youre not really present in the conversation. Saying it once is usually enough to prove your point.

Be honest. Theres nothing worse than being in the middle of a conversation and being found out that youve been faking it all along. Just be real. If you dont know, then just say that you dont. Always err on the side of caution.

Allow the conversation to flow While it helps to know specific conversation guidelines, you dont have to stick to a set template when having a conversation with someone. Let the thoughts flow so that the conversation moves organically. The best conversations are those that come from the heart, rather than from a script.
