How to talk to old people?

What old people fear most is loneliness and loneliness. Because of this, it is the unshirkable responsibility of the younger generation to take the initiative to care for and sympathize with the elderly, seriously talk with them, and let them get rid of loneliness and get spiritual comfort. In fact, chatting with the elderly is also very good for yourself.

Most old people like to recall the past. If you can arouse them to tell their glorious page, it is really the happiest and proudest thing for them, and for you, learning a historical fragment and being familiar with a touching story is not a rare learning opportunity. Because what can leave a deep impression on the elderly in the long years is always the most exciting and interesting thing.

Some old people like to talk to young people about his views on various things in the current society, and when he talks about these views, he often compares what he knew in the past, so it is not difficult for you to talk to him and propose a topic he is willing to talk about. The decorations of his youth, the first school he attended, the best movie he remembers, or the traffic, entertainment, prices, anecdotes and so on. Happy, painful, ridiculous, severe, or ostentatious, or regretful, or indignant, or regretful-once the floodgate of the old man's memory is opened, we are afraid that he will talk endlessly.

When talking to the old man, we should take him as the center. You just need to listen. Always show that your emotions are infected by his vivid stories; Naturally, you often show recognition of some of their views, and when you don't understand or disagree with his views, you might as well ask him one or two questions occasionally to express your doubts and incomprehension. Remember, you are talking to a living person. While respecting him, don't treat him as a god. If you show too much piety in front of the old man, you will make him think you are hypocritical.

Most old people are hard of hearing. When talking to them, we should raise the volume and slow down the speech, but we must not treat him completely as a deaf person. You must not show pity for him, and when you talk to him, you look dismissive, which is absolutely unbearable for them.

Maybe it's because it's hard for the old man to find someone who is willing to talk to him. When he gets someone who is so willing to talk to him, he will probably stick to you and won't let you leave his side. Sometimes even when you get up to leave, he will pull you down or ask you to continue talking to you. Under normal circumstances, listening to old people can't show boredom. You can't just find an excuse or hint and leave him. Even if he tells you the story he has told twice for the third time, you should listen patiently. Don't you just stay with him forever and listen to his endless talk? You should seize the opportunity! When he finishes a story, or obviously finishes a paragraph, you should get up at once and take a long vacation. Do not hesitate. If you hesitate a little, he will allow another story to start, so you have to sit for another half hour.
