The F.O.R.M. acronym makes them easy to remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the things that makes humans unique is our ability to talk <\/a>about a wide range of topics, from the mundane to the complex. But that doesn\u2019t mean conversations<\/a> are always easy. Some of us are naturally gifted verbal communicators<\/a>, while others have to work at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conversation<\/a> is a skill that can be honed and improved like any other. Even the introverted or socially anxious among us can improve in this area with some specific tools. That\u2019s why people are loving the \u201cF.O.R.M.\u201d framework shared by a TikTok creator, which he says helps him always keep a conversation flowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man, who goes by Dyllionaire, said that conversations don\u2019t usually die because people run out of things to say, but because they run out of things to ask. Here are his four \u201celite questions\u201d he says you can ask at any point in a conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The F.O.R.M. framework for asking questions in conversation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FEELING<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dyllionaire says he asks questions like, \u201cWhat was that like?\u201d \u201cHow did that feel?\u201d \u201cCool. How was that?\u201d to move conversations along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When someone shares something that they\u2019ve done or that happened to them, ask them how they felt or feel about it. Some people might think asking about feelings feels too personal, but unless it\u2019s a really sensitive topic, it\u2019s a perfectly reasonable\u2014and human\u2014question to ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ORIGIN<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf someone tells you that they paint, play pickleball, they got a new job, or something that they do, instead of moving past it, you say, \u2018What got you into that? How long have you been doing that for? What did you do before? Have you always done that?\u2019\u201d Dyllionaire says. \u201cAlmost no one asks the question, and the people that do become way more interesting to talk to, I promise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"conversation,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

REFLECT<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dyllionaire calls this one \u201ca little bit sneaky,\u201d but basically all you\u2019re doing is taking the last part of what someone says and reflecting it back to them as a question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He gives the example of someone saying, \u201cMy mom was a little bit weird about it.\u201d You\u2019d follow up with, \u201cYour mom was a little weird about it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNobody wants to be misunderstood, and everyone is excited to be able to open up to people, but most people don\u2019t pry anymore,\u201d he says. \u201cThis is a really good way to get people to continue to open up without being too nosy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MORE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTell me more,\u201d might be the simplest and most effective way to keep a conversation going. It\u2019s an easy way of expressing interest in what someone is talking about, which makes them feel good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI use at least one of these in every single conversation I have,\u201d Dyllionaire says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asking questions also helps you form bonds with people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Studies show<\/a> that asking the right questions can help people form closer bonds between loved ones and strangers alike. The key to the \u201cright questions\u201d appears to be self-disclosure, or sharing things about ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People sometimes fear getting \u201ctoo personal\u201d when chatting with people, but talking about personal things is what brings people closer together. And that feeling of being closer to people releases feel-good endorphins in our brains, similiar to the effects of opioids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, not only can using the F.O.R.M framework help you feel less awkward in conversations, but the questions you ask may ultimately make you feel happier about talking with people in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
