Such questions allow the other person to share thoughts, stories, and ideas that appeal to them, which makes them enjoy the conversation more. Here are some question types you can try out to encourage deep, enjoyable dialogue:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Open-ended questions.<\/strong><strong> <\/strong>These are questions that demand more than a binary \u201cyes or no\u201d response. \u201cWhat did you enjoy most about the concert?\u201d is an example of an open-ended question (as opposed to: \u201cDid you enjoy the concert?\u201d).<\/li><li><strong>Questions that enhance your understanding of the other person\u2019s views.<\/strong> Inquire about why someone feels a certain way or how they developed a belief. Seek to see the world through their eyes.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Follow-up questions.<\/strong> To drill down more into a topic or sentiment, ask questions that come to mind after hearing their response to your first question. (For instance: \u201cYou described the music as solemn; what do you mean by that?\u201d)<\/li><li><strong>Talk about topics other than the two of you.<\/strong> Your conversations don\u2019t have to just revolve around what you both think, feel, and believe. Talk about other things, like current events, your surroundings, new media you\u2019re consuming, and so on. King notes that this is a great way into someone\u2019s personal thoughts if you don\u2019t feel comfortable asking about those outright.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Don\u2019t Demand Responses to Your Questions<\/strong><br><br>The authors of <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/difficult-conversations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Difficult Conversations<\/em><\/a><em> <\/em>add an important final step to question-asking: <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/difficult-conversations\/chapter-9#skill-1-ask-questions-with-the-goal-of-learning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Let the other person choose to not answer your question if they don\u2019t want to<\/a>. Conversations shouldn\u2019t feel like mandatory interviews, and people are often more willing to open up and answer questions if you create an atmosphere in which they feel they can also <em>decline<\/em> to answer them. You can create such an atmosphere by simply being non-judgmental when someone doesn\u2019t want to answer a question. Ironically, this may make it more likely they\u2019ll open up and answer future questions.&nbsp;<br><br>While the above questions aren\u2019t inherently probing, some people might perceive them as too intimate. For instance, some people might not want to answer an open-ended question like, \u201cWhat\u2019s your take on God?\u201d&nbsp;<br><br>Similarly, some people might not want to elaborate on their views or beliefs, even if you ask about them in a curious and non-judgmental way. Other people don\u2019t care to answer more detailed questions about something they\u2019ve said, and some just might not be interested in the new topic you bring up.&nbsp;<br><br>Finally, it\u2019s possible that the other person might not tell you outright that they don\u2019t want to answer your question. If you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Tell-When-Someone-Doesn%27t-Want-to-Talk-to-You-Anymore\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">notice that they\u2019re ignoring your questions<\/a>, giving only brief responses, or shifting away from you, it\u2019s possible they don\u2019t want to answer your question and you need to let it go.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What types of questions move a conversation in a meaningful direction?
