Let’s Talk Surface Level

To begin with, it is important to acknowledge the reasons why we often engage in surface-level conversations. Many times, we engage in small talk because it is a safe and easy way to interact with others. Small talk can help break the ice and ease tension in a social situation. Moreover, surface-level conversations can be a way to avoid vulnerability and the risk of exposing our true selves. However, it is essential to understand that avoiding vulnerability can leave us feeling isolated and disconnected from others.

How to avoid Surface level conversations

To avoid surface-level conversations, it is essential to shift our focus towards communication that leads to deeper conversations. Here are some tips to help you engage in deeper conversations:

1. Be curious: Curiosity is one of the essential traits that lead to deeper conversations. Ask open-ended questions that allow the other person to elaborate on their thoughts and feelings. Listen to their response, and try to understand their perspective.
2. Share your own experiences: Vulnerability begets vulnerability. When we share our own experiences, we invite others to do the same. Share your thoughts, opinions, and experiences, and allow others to learn from them by engaging in a deep conversation.
3. Be present: To engage in deeper conversations, it is important to be present in the moment. Avoid distractions such as phones and other electronic devices. Make eye contact and actively listen to the other person.
4. Choose deep conversation topics: It is essential to choose topics that are meaningful and allow for a deep conversation. Some examples of deep conversation topics include personal growth, philosophy, spirituality, life lessons, and values.

Conclusion

In conclusion, surface-level conversations can leave us feeling disconnected and unfulfilled. The key to avoiding surface-level conversations is to shift our focus towards communication that leads to deeper conversations. By engaging in deep and meaningful conversations, we are creating space for a genuine connection. So, let’s make an effort to steer the conversation away from small talk and towards deeper discussions that lead to more profound connections.
