They’re not doing these 3 things: 💬 1. Using realistic interruptions: Incorporate natural interruptions and overlapping speech to make conversations feel more authentic. ❌ Don’t do: “I completely understand what you are saying and will follow your advice to the letter.” ✅ Instead, do: “I completely understand, but—” “Do you? Because it doesn’t seem like it.” 🎭 2. Showing, not telling emotions: Use dialogue to reveal character emotions through their words and actions rather than simply stating how they feel. ❌ Don’t do: “I am very angry with you,” she said angrily. ✅ Instead, do: “How could you do this to me?” she hissed, her fists clenching at her sides. 📜 3. Avoiding info dumps: Don’t use dialogue to dump exposition or background information unnaturally. Instead, weave it into the conversation subtly. ❌ Don’t do: “As you know, I’ve been working here for five years and have a degree in finance.” ✅ Instead, do: “Five years here, and it still feels like yesterday.” Want a free PDF with my top 5 tips on writing natural dialogue?

Learn here ↓ 1️⃣FORD METHOD: Ask about Family, Occupation, Recreation, Dreams These 4 topics = 90% of comfortable conversation "Tell me about..." beats "What do you do?" Open-ended phrasing makes people elaborate naturally 2️⃣ACTIVE LISTENING TRICK: Repeat last 2-3 words as a question Them: "I just got back from Italy" → You: "From Italy?" They'll automatically expand without feeling interrogated 3️⃣THE BOOKMARK TECHNIQUE: Remember one unique detail they mention Reference it later: "How did that thing with your sister turn out?" People feel SEEN when you remember specifics 4️⃣MATCH THEIR ENERGY: If they're calm, be calm. If excited, match it. Mirroring creates unconscious comfort and rapport 5️⃣AVOID INTERVIEW MODE: Share something about yourself after they answer Question → Their answer → Your related story → Next question 6️⃣COMPLIMENT THEIR CHOICES, NOT APPEARANCE: "That's a cool bag, where'd you get it?" Choices = they have control over, feels more genuine 7️⃣EXIT GRACEFULLY: "It was great talking to you! I'm going to grab a drink/say hi to someone" Clear exit = confident, not awkward trailing off 8️⃣THE 70/30 RULE: Let them talk 70%, you talk 30% Most memorable conversations = when THEY did most talking 9️⃣COMFORTABLE SILENCE: Don't panic-fill every pause 2-3 seconds of silence is normal, not awkward 🔟PRACTICE PLACE: Coffee shops, waiting in lines, Uber rides Low-stakes practice = builds confidence for important moments 💬 Which tip will you try today? 📌 Save this for your next social event ⚡Follow @thatceowoman for more #communicationskills #conversation #energy #small talk #explore
