Hey guys, Practical Psychology here, and I'm super pumped to bring back a previous collaborator due to some amazing feedback. I hope you guys enjoy!
Hey, Improvement Pill here. And for those of you guys who don't know who I am, I run a channel very similar to Practical Psychology's.
And today we're going to be talking about something that I'm sure a lot of you guys have problems with. Let me ask you a question.
Have you ever had a hard time coming up with things to talk about? Your brain ever just freeze and you end up with a long, awkward silence?
Well today I'm going to be sharing with you four extremely powerful topics that you can talk to just about anyone. Learning and using these four topics will allow you to build large amounts of rapport with just about anyone and will also allow you to create long lasting friendships.

F stands for Family. Everyone has some sort of family. They are an integral part of our lives.
They are the first people that we get to know, and for that reason, we hold a special place in our hearts for them. Studies have found time and time again that when people share family related matters with strangers, they feel significantly closer to them afterwards.
Now, the main problem with speaking about family is that it can sometimes come off very strong if you ask someone about their family upfront. What you need to do instead is branch the conversation in a way so that the topic of family naturally pops up.
Here's two ways to go about doing this. The first is by talking about your family first.
