How do I become more patient in a conversation?

Just do it.\nDon't try to do it. It takes you learning to keep your mouth shut. Everytime a wild thought pops in your mind. remember to shut up and listen to the other person.

Always have something to say when you are around them. It doesnt have to be the most refined statements that you have to make, but anything simple will start a conversation. If not sure, ask every day questions and you will get an answer. That may lead you to asking another question and you get another answer. Probably then you too will be asked and you answer back. By and by, you will realise that you are warm with this person or persons and the shyness will become history.   :-)

WHY CAN'T YOU BE PATIENT? GO AND MASTURBATE. SHE WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN SHE IS READY. WHEN YOU ARE PUSHING THE ISSUE SHE WILL WANT YOU MORE. IF YOU ACT LIKE YOU DON'T WANT IT SHE WILL BE THROWING IT TO YOU.

I posted this as an answer to a somewhat similiar question about talking, starting conversations and friends. It may not be exactly what you are looking for, but I hope it will help.\n\n\nTo keep the other person interested don't talk about yourself too much. Ask questions to get to know the person better, talk about any interests you have, classes, guys/girls, parents, etc. Becoming genuinely interested in the other person.\n\nA somewhat easy way to get a conversation started is to make a short complaint about something that you know the other person doesn't like. Generally the other person will complain too and you'll have you're conversation. You have to be Very careful not to do this often because you don't want the other person to think you're a whiner.\n\nPay Attention to what the other person says! This one is Extremely useful as you can bring it up at a later time and the other person will be surprised and pleased that you remembered.\n\nContinue to speak to everyone you know regularly. If you are walking and see someone you haven’t talked to in a while, stop for a moment and talk to them. It does not have to be a long conversation, just say hello, see how they are doing and if anything is wrong. You would be surprised by how little effort is required to win the friendship of others when you require nothing of them.\n\nBe nice and generally try to end the conversation on a good note. You don't have to make sure the other person has a great time Every Single conversation, but you don't want to think of all the petty arguements they've had with you.\n\nArguements... Don't. There are VERY few 'good' arguements. "The only way to get the berst of an arguement is to avoid it."\nIf you're wrong, admit it.\n\nDO NOT critize the person, or a friend, when talking to the person. If you want to point out something they did wrong, try to point out something similar you did wrong.\n\nSmile! Not a forced smile, the person you're talking to will be able to tell the difference. And you don't have to be an overly happy hyper-active person. Just smile naturally and, if you can, be somewhat happy. Remembering good times with your friends/family can help.\n\nLet the other person do a lot of the talking and be a good listener. (Somewhat stated in my first advice, ask questions, talk about interests the other person has. Answer questions sincerly.)\n\nHonestly make the person you're talking to feel important. You don't want to fake this one or do it too often, but if you honestly think they did something well, give them that praise.\n\n\nWell, it's a littly longer than I originally planned to write but I hope it helps you. If you want more advice, there are a couple good books that Will actually help. How to Win Friends and Influence People, is probably one of the best ones. It's an old book, but trust me, it's just as useful today as it was when it was written.\n\nFission

try this; start with spell checker when writing! A step towards slowing down. Then tell yourself at least 2x a day, "what I have to say is more important than how fast I say it. I find most people who talk too fast are afraid that others won't listen to what they say or feel others talk too much for them to get a chance to say something. Consentrate on having something worthwhile to say. Try practising in the mirror each day. Then try reading into a recorder & play back until it sounds right. Do these things until you get the results you want & you notice people listen to what you say & most of all understand what you say. You can do it. Believe it!

Go slow... Plan the first three or four things you want to say. Practice them over and over alone like.\n\nHey, hows it goin? Great/Bad weather. Love Hot/cold day\nLove Rain/Sun.\n\njust be yourself relax there are no right or wrongs

FORGET ABOUT TRYING IMPRESS THE PERSON YOU ARE TALKING TO. THINK FOR A MOMMENT ABOUT THE TOPIC OF THE CONVERSATION. THIS JUST TAKES A SECOND. NEXT BE HONEST TO YOUR SELF AND THE PERSON YOU ARE TALKING TO. SOMETIMES BEING TRUTHFUL CAN HURT SO TRY AND FEEL HOW THE OTHER PERSONS HEART MAY FEEL. NEXT DON'T PRETEND TO LIKE THE PERSON IF YOU DON'T.REMEMBER HONESTY IS GOOD.JUST TAKE YOUR TIME AND BE GENUINE.I KNOW THIS SOUNDS MUSHY BUT I'M JUST LEARNING MYSELF.

PAy attention to what people are saying and show interest, so the conversation can flow. Ask questions, comment, make eye contact, and know what ur talking about. Don't fake like u know about something when u don't. NOBODY likes a liar!!! Be CONFIDENT

To get started, you could do the following. Carry a small tape recorder with you all day. When there are people near you who carry on a conversation that you think would be interesting to an audience, record their conversation. When you get home, transcribe it. Change any phrases that you desire, or leave as is -- whatever you want.\n\nCollect a number of scenes like this, and edit to tie them all together.

when u see new people...think about anything, look around and make anything simple interesting. when you freeze up, the best thing you should do is ask, so watd u do today, hows it goin, wats new, all those simple topics. once u get to know the person, its a lot easier to talk because you know things about him/her. its all about social skill.

Take a cheerful part in conversation as long as you can and then when the talk veers away from what you are able to take part in, excuse yourself politely and go do your cross-stitch.  It's your attitude that is the key to whether you come off rude or not. You shouldn't feel obligated to continue "for hours" having to take part in conversation on topics that you don't feel connected to.

Think of some good open ended questions you can ask and some topics you feel comfortable talking about. Have a gameplan that you feel okay with and let the conversation just flow from there. \n\nAlso, positive thinking, quit telling yourself you are bad at one on one conversations. Tell yourself you are improving at them. Keep thinking that way and it won't be long til you do.\n\nRemember you have nothing to lose and he is going to be talking to you because he wants to know you. He'll give you all the time in the world to come up with the right words and he's probably nervous too. Also, just be honest that you get nervous talking one on one sometimes. No guy is going to fault you for that. Most likely he'll be flattered.

First of all you are trying to be more than what you are.  Avoid pretending.  Try to be genuine and realistic.  There can be mistakes when you talk.  Quality is attained gradually.  All of a sudden no one can be the best.  Time and efforts are needed.  While trying to improve give attention to those who speak proper language. Take some time in the evening to refer dictionary to solve your doubts.

Perhaps start off with a Hi, and then a thoughtful pause, silence is a wonderful tool for tricking your audience into paying attention. Once they are listening, then you can approach them as a friend and explain what you are going to talk about.\n\nExample;\n\nHi, most of you all know me but those who doesnt know me i m ...... ....... from grade ........ and i m running for the school's President.\n\nThis morning when i woke up, my younger brother/sister asked me tht if i would become the President just like George Bush, i smiled at him or her and told tht ' nah, its more complicated, if i m elected as a president my duties and purposes are slightly more complicated than George Bush.....i m going to increase lunch and sports hours and tht, tht is more complicated, do you agree?......then you start on....

You really need to talk first and make plans later.\nDo not rush things.
