Humans were given a voice so they could talk and communicate, simultaneously making their bonding with each other strong.
According to a Psychology Today article, just 7% of communication occurs through the content of the message, with the rest occurring through body language, vocal tone, emphasis, and pitch.
Similarly, some interactions are better carried out over the phone or in person. Following are the 100 deep questions to ask your close friends or family to strengthen your connection.
My favourite deep questions
What do you think could be beyond this universe?
It’s interesting to start your conversation with an unexpectedly deep question. Sometimes such questions lead to a conversation you can never forget. The person talking to you will get an idea about your different thinking and will feel curious to know you more and more.
Are you working on anything exciting right now?
Don’t limit yourself to professional initiatives when answering this question. It’s conceivable they’re occupied with something creative outside of work, such as painting their bedroom or training their new dog.
When you were younger, what did you want to be?
Inquire further about who or what contributed to their accomplishment if they were able to realise their dream.
Who do you look up to as a role model?
What qualities or accomplishments of their role model do they admire the most? Check to see if they think they have any of the same characteristics.
