35 FUN FACTS TO SHARE ABOUT YOURSELF IN ANY SETTING

Posted by Courtney McLaughlin




Coming up with topics to chat about at events like dinner parties, neighborhood
get togethers or work socials can be tough. Inevitably, in new groups or teams,
the question, “tell us something fun about yourself,” always seems to come up.
It’s easy to start out chatting about the weather or work, but we may get stuck
thinking up something novel to say when answering this question. Most of us
don’t mind sharing something unique or fun about ourselves – but may draw a
blank when sitting in a new group, interview or networking event. 

The list of ideas below provides some topical categories to inspire you to think
up fun facts about yourself.  Use these ideas so you’ll be ready to share an
interesting tidbit the next time someone wants to find out more about you.  

Whether you’re making new friends or catching up with your favorite people,
these go-to topics can help you dive in and hopefully spark
meaningful connections in an “easy does it” way.

 1.  Book buzz - Share what you’re reading now (or what you read most recently)
     and ask if they have any book recommendations. You could also mention your
     favorite book of all time or the genre you prefer such as mystery or
     romance. You’ll likely have some new ideas to add to your “to be read”
     list! 
 2.  Travel time - People are generally curious about where other people have
     been. Have you taken a dream vacation or somewhere unique? Whether it was a
     cruise across the ocean or an adorable mountain town close to home, these
     are always easy fun facts to share. A funny story from a specific trip is
     always a good way to entertain the group. 
 3.  Television shows - The latest binge that had you glued to your couch for
     the past week is always a hot topic. Discussing your favorite characters,
     plot lines and predictions about the upcoming season is sure to get the
     conversation flowing - plus you might get a few shows to add to the list. 
 4.  Pet power - Does anyone even have to ask? Talking about your pet(s) is an
     easy go-to topic - how you got your four-legged friend, their name, quirks,
     etc. Have your phone ready to show pictures of your furry BFF. 
 5.  Party trick - Most everyone has a hidden talent. Start with yours (singing
     the ABC’s backwards, balancing a spoon on your nose, reciting a poem in
     another language, etc.) and get the fun started. 
 6.  Hobbies – Have a unique or interesting hobby? This is often something fun
     to share with the group. If you are fairly accomplished in any hobby, it’s
     also a fun piece of information to include. 
 7.  Food - Have you dined at a noteworthy restaurant lately? Or, perhaps you’ve
     eaten a very odd food at some point in your life. People love to hear about
     food. If you’ve eaten something very odd or gross, be prepared for follow
     up questions about the experience. 
 8.  Biggest fear – If you have an irrational fear of clowns or some other
     unique phobia, this makes for good conversation. People will definitely
     enjoy hearing this interesting information about you. You also might be
     surprised at how others are able to relate to some of your fears.  
 9.  DIY fails - Talking about your successes could invite some eye rolls but
     sharing your DIY failures will help everyone relax and enjoy the
     conversation. Did you try to HGTV a part of your house, bake an epic cake
     or knit a sweater for your cat that didn’t turn out at all the way you
     thought it would? These are fun stories to share! 
 10. Sports share – Whether you play a particular sport or just enjoy watching,
     people will enjoy the information. Perhaps you are a big rugby fan. If you
     still play a sport, this would be particularly interesting and unique
     information. You can also share about your favorite sports team growing up,
     a big playoff event you attended or a sports figure you’ve met.
 11. Where were you? – Have you been at notable places or experienced noteworthy
     moments? Perhaps you attended a presidential inauguration or you lived
     through a tornado. Either way, these are definitely worth telling.
 12. Bucket list confessions - It’s always interesting to hear what people want
     to accomplish before they take the big trip upstairs. Share the items
     you’ve marked off your list, what is in the works and the far out dreams
     you are still chasing.

Organize a festive neighborhood party with an online sign up. View an Example

 13. Walk on song - Most athletes have a “walk on song” - a tune played as they
     enter the stadium, go up to bat, etc. Instead of talking about what music
     you like, share your “walk on song” or one that gets you pumped and ready
     for the day. Be prepared to sing a few bars!
 14. Celebrity meet ups - Have you met a celebrity? Perhaps it was at a charity
     event, in the airport or walking down the street. Talk about what happened
     and other famous people you’d like to meet.
 15. Back to the future - If you could come face to face with the person you
     were 10 years ago - what would you say to him or her? This is a fun way to
     break the ice and let people learn more about you.
 16. Best part of the day - What is your favorite part of the day? Tell the
     group about your not to be missed five-mile run, alone time in the carpool
     line, having a glass of wine with your partner or curling up with a good
     book. 
 17. First car - There’s nothing like a first car memory to open the door to
     some great conversation. Share the make and model of your roadster and all
     the great stories that go with it.
 18. Time off - Instead of talking about your hobbies, jump in with how you like
     to spend the day when you have nothing on the to-do list. Do you enjoy
     shopping, working outdoors, touring bookstores, cooking up a storm, doing
     absolutely nothing or something in between? Who knows, you might find a new
     friend who enjoys doing what you like to do! 


SAMPLE SIGN UPS


 
Create Sign Up
 1. Three people to dinner - You reveal a lot about yourself by the company you
    keep. Share what three people - dead or alive - you would want to have over
    for dinner and why. For bonus points, include what dish you’d have on the
    menu.
 2. Story of your name - Your name is usually one of the first things people
    learn about you - but what’s behind it? This is a great way to learn other
    people’s names - and make them stick - and share a unique story about
    yourself. 
 3. Card shark - When you find yourself with a deck of cards, what game do you
    like to play? This can turn into a revealing conversation about how
    competitive you are.
 4. Coffee talk - For coffee drinkers, what goes in a mug of joe is a true
    expression of love. Talk about your favorite beans, creamer, sugar and
    secret ingredients that make your java the best.
 5. Retirement dreams - What does your ideal retirement look like? Share if you
    are saving for a cottage on the beach or travelling the world. If you are
    retired, what are your dreams for this new chapter? 
 6. Grocery games - How people grocery shop and feed themselves is keen insight
    into a person’s life. Do you always have a list, fly by the seat of your
    pants, clip coupons or is your refrigerator full of take-out containers? 
 7. The world needs - Chat about an invention that would make life easier or
    save tons of time. People can get to know your challenges and everyone is
    guaranteed to end up laughing! 

Organize a progressive dinner party with an online sign up. View an Example

 26. Genealogy - Sharing where your ancestors came from is a wonderful way to
     say something about yourself. Give people a glimpse into your background
     and spark a broader discussion about travel, traditions and family life.
 27. Birth order - Everyone you come in contact with is part of a birth order.
     Where you are in the lineup can often shape your personality and how you
     see the world. Offer your experience as a first, second, third, fourth or
     more born - or as an only child. 
 28. Doppelganger - Do you have a celebrity look alike? Share who you’ve been
     told you look like and see if the group agrees. 
 29. Life hacks - If you’ve figured out a quick, inexpensive or better way to
     make life tasks easier, don’t keep it to yourself! Whether it's a tip to
     get school lunches made faster or an easy way to keep track of all your
     passwords, people will certainly appreciate the information. 
 30. Seasonal taste - Dive in and talk about what foods remind you of the
     different seasons. Do peaches and watermelon mean summer and your famous
     chili recipe means fall is here? This convo can lead to other topics like
     regional cooking, where you grew up, etc. 
 31. What’s your sign? - Your astrological sign can be an inside peek into your
     personality. Discuss what traits you think are true to you and your sign
     and which are way off. Depending on group size, chances are good you’ll
     find someone of the same sign or even the same birthday.
 32. Dream weaver - If you are a deep sleeper, chances you are a dreamer as
     well. While sharing the crazy dream you had last night might be hard to
     explain and a little complicated, discussing recurring dreams is a great
     topic. 
 33. Collections - Sharing your passion for stamps, coins, magnets, travel
     magazines, vintage books, costume jewelry, cars, vinyl records - or
     anything that gets your heart pounding - can be a great starting point to
     opening up about who you are. 
 34. On the move - Skip the “where are you from” question and talk about how
     many different cities you’ve lived in. Did you move around a lot or stay in
     one place? This personal story is a great way to get to know you. 
 35. Things I do know - While not many people want or hear (or take) other
     people’s advice, sharing what you DO know is a great way to wrap up the
     conversation. It might be as simple as “I know you should always bring an
     umbrella” or “I know the special is usually the best thing on the menu.”
     From parenting to pets, friendships and general observations, this topic
     helps take talk to the next level and inspires a lot of humor.

Learn more about yourself and the company you keep with the above conversation
starters then add more along the way. Keep this list handy!
