How To Speak With Others

827 views. 2012-11-10 10:42 |

I went to the electronic market to ask for the invoice with my friends this weekend, and I realise how I am weak in contacting with others. I have ever read the book called Those things in the Ming Dynasty and the author told that it was better for us to suffer some pain when we were young, because it was good for the fast growth of our minds from the life of  famous persons.
    Obviously, I suffer little pain like most of the children in modern society when I am very young, so I don't know how to speak with others especially the strangers. When the strangers hear my first voice, they realise that I am very weak in contacting with people and I really don't know how to react to the words they say. I feel embarrassed almost every time. For example, I speaked to the retailer directly this time to ask for the invoice but I didn't buy anything, However, they didn't want to give me and said they didn't have one and refused me directly. Then I felt embarrased and had to say "oh, thank you all the same." and left uneasily. I didn't dare to say to others, because I feared to fail again. 
    Actually speaking, this is a good chance to practice, I regret that I don't take the chance to practice contacting with strangers. Because I don't practice it in my young time, I have to make up the courses as soon as possible.I should not dare to fail and practice it again and again. Then I can do well in the society class.

Well, I don't think you have a big problem because you know your weakness and that is the first step for improve and strengthen yourself. Actually speaking to unfamiliar people involves is not that hard. it is just like negotiation. Whoever has a point wins. Just say what you want to say and wait for the answer. The answer is usually not what you want to hear, so you have to decide whether to insist further and that depends on how reasonable is your request. As for your request for the invoice, I would have asked in the same way you did and I would accept that answer because you are not buying anything and shopkeepers are usually practical and selfish so that would not do anything without profit. Don't worry about being rejected, it would happen all the time and nobody can avoid it. It is good to be decent, friendly and soft instead of rough, tough talking and loud. You are doing fine and your speaking ability would be powerful as you grow and have experience.
