1. Mindset First: Remove the Pressure

• Don’t see it as a performance. See it as a conversation with another human being.
• Avoid overthinking “what they will think about me.” Instead, focus on curiosity and connection.

• Begin with basic, situational topics: studies, hobbies, mutual friends, current events.
• Keep your tone light and casual.
• Example: “Hey, do you also find this topic tough?” or “That was a really funny moment in class.”

• Listen actively instead of just planning your reply.
• Ask open-ended questions: “What do you enjoy doing in your free time?”
• People like talking to those who make them feel heard.

• Eye contact (not staring).
• Relaxed posture.
• Smile lightly — it makes you approachable.
• Don’t fidget or cross arms (signals nervousness).

• Confidence means you speak clearly, without fear.
• Respect means you don’t interrupt, dominate, or make inappropriate remarks.
• Never try to “impress”; focus on being real.

• A little playful comment shows comfort.
• Example: If they say “I’m really bad at singing,” you can reply: “Don’t worry, I break mirrors when I try.”
• But never overdo it or turn it into mockery.

• If you feel awkward, acknowledge it lightly.
• Example: “I get nervous sometimes in new conversations, but I’m glad we’re talking.”
• Honesty often breaks the ice.

• Don’t just “reserve” confidence for opposite gender. Build confidence talking to anyone — juniors, elders, strangers.
• The more you normalize conversations, the less pressure you’ll feel.
