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.

  42. If you find yourself stranded on a deserted island, what three things would you want to have with you? 
  43. What is your number one goal for the coming year?

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.

Finding out about someone’s perspectives and experiences with relationships is a powerful way to get a little closer to their heart. But there is a time and place for everything.

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.

  1. How would you title this chapter of your life? 
  2. If you only had one month left to live, how would you spend it? 
  3. What is the best advice someone has ever given you? 
  4. What makes you feel alive?
  5. Do you typically follow your heart or your head?
  6. What are you most grateful for in your life? 
  7. If you could go back and change one thing about your past, what would it be? 
  8. Which is more critical – beauty, power, or money? 
  9. What’s your biggest fear?
  10. What makes you feel unstoppable?
  11. What is your biggest regret?
  12. Do you think people are mostly good or mostly evil? Why? 
  13. Where do you go when you need fresh inspiration?
  14. What’s your philosophy on life?
  15. Do you like diving into the deep end or easing your way into the water? (literally or figuratively)?
  16. What life-changing events have you experienced? 
  17. What’s one thing you would change about yourself? 
  18. Have you ever had a moment of deja vu? 
  19. What legacy do you want to leave on Earth once you’re gone? 
  20. What gives you hope?
