Do you ever feel like we’re having the same, boring conversations day in and day out? It seems like every conversation we have, goes as follows…
“Well, how was your weekend?”
“Ah well you know yourself. Walks, walks and takeaway coffees! Haha!”
“Haha aw so true.”
Sound familiar?
Conversations in 2021 haven’t exactly improved since last year. Every day is Groundhog Day and as much as I thrive on discussing the weather in detail with my da, sometimes I’m up for more exciting conversations.
Therefore, I’ve created a list of questions you can ask your friends, partner, or family. Any old f****r who wants to listen to you. Top tip- try to pick someone engaging. Nothing worse than asking someone questions when they’re not listening. Don’t do what I’m currently doing. Don’t ask your ma these questions whilst she’s scrolling through Facebook, or you’ll get an abrupt request to leave the premises.
Without further ado, here is a…
List of Questions to Improve Conversations in 2021
Most of the time, it works 100% of the time.
- What’s your best childhood memory?
- Name one thing you didn’t do at the time, that you wished you had’ve done?
- What’s one piece of advice you’d give your younger self?
- Tell me one thing you love about yourself.
- Tell me one thing you don’t love about yourself.
- What’s the most exotic pet you would like to own?
- If you had to name a child tomorrow, what would you call it? (Not your child btw, you just get the honour of naming it)
- You’re on a desert island. Snog, marry, kill. Your options are Tom Hanks (cos of castaway- great film), Michael D. Higgins and Margot Robbie.
- You’re allowed to take one meal to the desert island- what are you bringing?
- You can bring one person with you to the desert island- who are you bringing?
- You can invite three people to dinner, dead or alive. Who would they be?
- What do you admire about me?
- What’s the biggest life lesson you’ve learned?
- Describe your perfect day.
- Who are you closest to?
- What did you want to be when you were younger?
- Have you ever had a cool business idea?
- What are/ were your parents like?
- If given the option, would you change your appearance or your intellect?
- What fills you with joy?
Well, that was exhausting. I hope you enjoyed these questions. Let me know how they go down with your family and friends. Some people will be cursing me now and some people will be mediocrely amused.
Just because life is a bit boring these days, doesn’t mean our conversations have to be. Yes, we may need to be more creative with ideas, but please. No. More. Covid. Or. Weather. Chats. Thank. You.
