There are so many benefits of engaging in genuine conversations with people. For example, you can learn new ideas and concepts that can propel you further in your career or help with your personal development.
Creating new interactions and genuine conversion can be difficult, also finding people to engage with can be challenging, especially on platforms that focus more on entertainment and not encouraging communication.
Livebeam is an online platform that allows users to meet and share their true thoughts and feelings with one another and connect early stage creators to their fans. Unlike others, Livebeam encourages people to interact and have genuine conversations that can add value to their lives.
Here are some of the things you need to do so you can create interactions with genuine conversations online on Livebeam:
1. Show up authentic
Being yourself is important when it comes to meeting new people and sharing genuine conversations. Don’t pretend to be someone else or try to share the wrong information. Some people are very good at detecting a lie and if that happens they will avoid you or refuse to have a conversation with you.
When you are authentic you will appear more confident and sure about what you are talking about. This will make the other person interested and want to talk to you more or learn more about what you are saying.
- Keep it polite
No one wants to engage in a conversation with someone who is rude or disrespectful. On Livebeam you will meet people from various cultures and races. It is important that you embrace other cultures and treat everyone with the respect they deserve. Politeness while communicating will make the party equally respectful, and it’s more likely that they will share their thoughts and feelings with you.
3. Practice active listening
Listening is a very important communication skill. Your response to any questions will tell if you got the question correctly or not. Giving a wrong response may be a sign that you didn’t listen properly. To create and have genuine conversations on Livebeam, it is important to be an active listener. Listening keenly will make your connections more interested in talking to you and sharing more thoughts and feelings with you.
To be an active listener you need to pay attention so that you can understand the message the other party is trying to relay. It is okay to ask again if you did not understand the question, instead of giving inaccurate information. People will be more comfortable and free to engage in a conversation with you if they feel respected. Having first-hand information about another person’s culture and how they communicate is key and this will help you avoid communication triggers that may annoy them and make them feel disrespected.
4. Apply humor
Conversations should not always be serious, even professional interactions are made interesting by adding a little humor to cheer people up and keep them engaged. Humor is good at creating a relaxed and more enjoyable conversation. For example on Livebeam, if you are talking to someone about your interests, you can add a joke or a funny embarrassing thing you had while taking part in one of your hobbies or goals. As you do this, remember to be sensitive and avoid jokes that may be inappropriate.
5. Stay open-minded
When participating in online interactions on Livebeam, keep an open mind. Be open to taking advice from others without feeling targeted. A more interesting and diverse conversation will result from this.
If you are corrected, you need to take it positively and also understand what other people do or say based on their culture. For example, if someone says they don’t like your favorite food, don’t take it as an offense, since we all have our preferences and dislikes. Sometimes what someone else prefers is what their culture forbids them. Generally, it is important to keep an open mind in conversation.
6. Responsiveness is key
While you should try to stay patient and be an active listener, practice responsiveness as well. To create genuine connections and conversations on Livebeam, you need to respond quickly to express your interest in the topic. Avoid giving one-word or evasive answers because they may give the impression that you are not totally involved with the other person.
7. Do a follow-up
If you and the other person on Livebeam had a very good or intriguing talk, you might want to get in touch with them again. This might be as easy as writing a brief message to express gratitude for the exchange or to propose getting together once more in the future.
