How do you make conversation when you are boring and the only

I can't weigh in, but I want to know as well.
Wish I could hold conversations better and be smarter too. Seems like it's all one-sided sometimes due to the different intelligence levels between me and the other person.

Being smart matters a shit ton ye, but there must be techniques that can make any dummy hold entertaining conversations.

My only luck has been talking to people with similar hobbies. I know that doesn't help the issue you're having, but it's the only time I've had long and nice conversations. I'm pretty stupid, but at least I know tons about my interests. Doesn't help that my vocabulary is small and I can't explain myself too well to where I lose people constantly in our conversations.

Again, I know this doesn't help, but hopefully a nice Anon has some suggestions.

One thing that you could do that i found extremly helpfull is to learn another language.
Learning an extra language will make your conversational skills much better and its proven to be one of the few things you can do to increase your iq.
Its ALOT of work, but it somehow teaches you to build much better phrases in your mother language and makes you see words in a whole new perspective

most of the time if you center it on the other person the conversation can turn into all kinds of interesting things.

And...how do you do that?
Is not like the conversation magically gets to the point where people tell you their childhood traumas and shit.

if you ask the right questions it will. conversation is an art of manipulation. if you want to know something, use your questions to lead to that topic. people love talking about themselves. if you convince them that you care, they'll tell you anything.

constantly asking questions make it seem like it's an interrogation though, people catch on quickly
