How Do You Let Conversations Flow With Younger People?
Date Published
When there’s a difference in age or experience, the instinct is often to lead, explain, or impress. But real connection doesn’t come from guiding—it comes from being present.
You don’t need to manage the moment. You don’t need to sound wiser than you are. Just stay open. Curious. Calm.
Younger people bring energy, honesty, and creativity. Let that be. Ask simple questions. Listen without needing to steer. Let the conversation be light. Let it wander.
It’s not about caution—it’s about respect. Knowing when to speak, and when silence is enough. When to share, and when to just hold space.
Connection isn’t built by doing more. It’s built by doing less—thoughtfully. Let ease guide you. That’s how trust grows. That’s how you meet someone, not just their age.
Have you ever found yourself thinking, "I failed, this is not for me," or "Others are better, it's too late"? These thoughts can lead to unhappiness.
