The problem is you have nothing to talk about. Either shit talk non-stop(some mature wannabe types dont like it but some people find it funny as hell) and by shit talking i mean talk about crap like "Why is milk white?" "Do you think your life would turned out different if you had a name like Waine Ker?" Talk about food in the most obserd way possible "Imagin a cocopuff coated in nutella filled with nutella inside a giant cocopuff swimming in a sea of nutella" just totally random shit, ofcourse i naturally think about this crap when im by myself doing nothing so ive got like a good 20 minutes worth of convo arguing either side of about 100 totally pointless and random topics but hey i find it fun and at the very least i amuse myself by doing it... ofcourse there is alote of people that just wont be interested but hey fuk them...

Or if you wanna take a more conventional approach, just go n do things for no reason so you get some storys to tell other people... Go to an Alcoholics Anonymous(ofcourse you will need to make up a story to tell to the AA group but you will probably get some funny stories to tell people you talk to out of it) and just spend your time doing shit and you will get stories and crap to tell to others and you'll be able to relate to other peoples stories when they tell you them... like, johnny sez to you "I think bobs an alco" you normal reply would be what? "thats nice" but now you can say "ha rly, i went to an AA meeting once, this one guy there realised he was an alco when he woke up in a gutter with a human turd on his chest" or something along those lines and shit will just come natural then.

If you cant be fked doing things just learn to make up stories really good, the art of making up stories is giving small details that you would normally give if the story was true but most people dont when they lie about a story... eg if we are going with the AA guy who woke up with a turd on his chest then maybe you would move on from there with "yeh he had this awesome tatoo of a dragon on his back too that he showed us, funny thing is he doesnt remember how he got it" and now the convo has moved to tatoos and so on. Ofcourse you need to think up these things prior to using them until you become a really good bullshiter... its a very handy skill that takes alote of practice that most people dont have because we are brainwashed by the media n the government to be honist. It comes natural to some, others just need to pratice...Remember to never let the truth get in the way of a good story!

I've got the same problem too. Any more tips?
BonneeJM Posted at 6:39 pm on June 19, 2006
I can never find anything interesting to talk about. All i ever talk about is boring crap and no1 wants to hear about. plus i'm really shy. How can I make conversations more interesting?????
she rockz Posted at 6:22 am on June 19, 2006
ask silly questions, or interesting stuffs such as "have u been in love? how does it feel? and then debate once in a while lol
astonj s Posted at 4:46 am on June 19, 2006
just think of random musings, that should work

think of obscure things to ask them, like how their pets are, or if they have ever been to alaska.  random things.

I like that idea.

flordiatan369 Posted at 2:35 am on June 19, 2006
talk about puppies, everyone loves puppies.  or talk about global warming...thats a conversation starter if i ever heard one

If I'm hard on for convo topics, I just talk a bit about me, or ask them questions about themselves n wat they like/dislike, what they think of the party/school day/class etc. Anything. Keep asking questions and something is bound to come up.

Dont forget though, convo is a two way street!

ask questions or tell jokes (funny ones)
JinxyPinxy Posted at 2:09 am on June 19, 2006
Sounds weird, but think of some things you could say before you get into the conversation.
Koalica Posted at 2:09 am on June 19, 2006
