Good questions for a friend

257 Juicy Questions to Ask Your Friends

People love to talk about themselves. Studies show that talking about oneself activates the same parts of your brain as food, drugs, and sex!

Self-disclosure (and getting other people to open up) is scientifically proven to make you more likable and help you form deeper social bonds.

So how do you get past boring small talk and into the good stuff?

The secret to threading conversation into something deeper is simply asking others excellent questions.

Open-ended questions are beneficial for learning more about somebody because they may evoke a story. However, you can also use follow-up yes/no questions with “why” or “tell me more” to encourage people to elaborate.

Here are 250+ juicy and thought-provoking conversation starters to get to know someone better and (hopefully) create an intriguing and memorable conversation.

Questions About Values and Goals

Finding out someone’s morals and values is more complex than simply asking, “what are your values?” You can get to the root of what someone believes in by asking things about their motivations, life philosophies, and what drives them forward daily.

It is also helpful to ask some thought-provoking questions about hypothetical scenarios like “If you could time travel, what time period would you go to?” This allows them to talk about their values in a hypothetical situation without feeling pressured to reveal more profound stories if they don’t want to.

How do you hope people feel when they’re around you?
What are the most important values that you have always stood by?
How would you define a “good person”?
What are the most essential qualities you want in a friend?
What life lessons did you have to learn the hard way?
If you only had one of your five senses, which one would you choose?
Have you ever volunteered?
What are causes important to you?
Who do you admire the most and why?
What is your life motto or mantra?
What was your most proud accomplishment in the past year?
If you could choose one thing that would make the world better, what would it be?
Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not?
What is your astrological sign?

Do you live by any particular words of wisdom?
Is it easy or difficult for you to accept help from people?
If money were no object, what would you devote your life to?

Pro Tip: There is a certain balance you have to strike between expressing interest in someone versus being too nosey. You don’t want to violate their privacy or go too deep too quickly.

It’s usually best to steer clear of certain types of questions early on in a friendship: for example, “who did you vote for?”, “what are your religious beliefs?” or “what’s the worst thing that ever happened to you?” are probably best saved for someone you’ve known for a while.

On the other hand, if you notice someone is sharing more about themselves, move on to more profound questions like the ones below.

Deep Questions to Ask Your Friends

When you want to get to know someone deeper, it is often helpful to open up about your own stories and viewpoints.

Psychologists have found that an equal amount of give-and-take is essential to make both people in a conversation feel comfortable to disclose more intimate details about their lives.

However, over-sharing can lead to awkwardness or embarrassment. Self-disclosure requires trust that you can only build through time and conversation. So only dig into these types of questions once you’ve already started to form a relationship with somebody.

How would you title this chapter of your life?
If you only had one month left to live, how would you spend it?
What is the best advice someone has ever given you?
What makes you feel alive?
Do you typically follow your heart or your head?
What are you most grateful for in your life?
If you could go back and change one thing about your past, what would it be?
Which is more critical – beauty, power, or money?
What’s your biggest fear?
What makes you feel unstoppable?
What is your biggest regret?
Do you think people are mostly good or mostly evil? Why?
Where do you go when you need fresh inspiration?
What’s your philosophy on life?

Deep questions

It's hard to just blurt out questions about a friend's hopes and dreams, beliefs and opinions. Sometimes it takes the right time for this to get your friend ready to open up to you.

So, when should you start asking serious and deep questions? Are there any unspoken rules here? There are 3:

1. Nothing is forbidden

You can talk about anything from the most disgusting food you have ever eaten to the most unpleasant things you have ever done. If you and your friend have already bonded over boogers or what you'll be doing during a zombie apocalypse, then you can probably dig deeper and talk about serious topics.

2. You can cry, laugh or hiss at each other

If you or your friend let your emotions run wild without judging each other, this is also the perfect time to get to know each other better.

3. You kept each other's secrets for a long time.

There's a reason why some people consider socializing with friends to be free therapy.

Sometimes serious questions can open closed wounds or bring back an injury. Also, sometimes it can highlight a person's trust issues.

We offer you: 350 Good questions to ask

If you know deep down that you can be trusted with any secret a friend shares with you, then your friend will probably feel safe telling you what he/she is kept so dearly.

Questions

No matter how many years you know your friends, you can always learn something new about your best friend or girlfriend. Questions for friends are a good way to strengthen your friendship and test yourself on each other's knowledge.

Knowing what questions to ask your friends will help you stay close to everyone in your social circle. You will find that the answers to the questions you ask a married couple of friends reveal them to you in a new way. And questions for introspection will help your bosom friend or best friend look at themselves from the outside.

If you've been friends with someone for years and think you've heard all their stories, laughed at all their jokes, and understand their thoughts, there's still a lot more to come. Make sure of this by asking friends, for example, difficult psychological questions. And you will see how smart, talented, amazing people your friends are. This is the beauty of friendship - to see the best in friends.

Closing Thoughts on Questions for Friends

The time we spend with friends should be enriched with conversation and fun in the form of questions and answers. This helps not only to have fun, but also allows each person to tell a little more about themselves than others know.

An evening spent with questions and answers can strengthen our relationships with friends for years to come. People love to talk about themselves. Research shows that talking about yourself activates the same parts of the brain that food, drugs, and sex do!

It has been scientifically proven that self-disclosure (and encouraging other people to open up) makes you a more attractive person and helps you form deeper social bonds.

Therefore, never forget that talking about these topics is very important in relationships with friends. After all, the right questions for friends will lead to new, funny, surprising, deep and very personal conversations with your girlfriend or friend.
