When we meet the homeless, most of us might avoid eye contact and walk a little faster. 31 What's his or her story? How long have they lived on the streets? Maybe you even wanted to help, but didn't know how to start a conversation. Then the following might help you.
32 Is there another way I can help?
This is an especially good thing to say if you're uncomfortable handing over cash or don't have any to offer. Undoubtedly, money is something that a homeless person needs, but often there is a specific thing that can quickly help that person out of a terrible situation.
Did you catch the game?
33 Talking about sports is a good idea. While there is a game, bring it up like talking about the weather—sports is a topic of conversation that you don't have to be of a certain class to experience.
Good morning.
Say "hi" or "hello" or try to acknowledge the person in some way. 34 Regardless of what your greeting may be, it's important to look the person in the eye when speaking. According to the homeless, one of the many difficult things about being homeless is that you feel less than human.
How are you doing? Would you like to talk?
These questions are great because they're open-ended. Don't be surprised if people are not interested in chatting, though. You're getting into their personal lives. 35 If, however, the person is open to talking, this can lead to a real conversation—and maybe even provide a way for you to offer help.
A. I don't have any money.
B. It's good to hear kindness.
C. But you might also think about the situation.
D. Maybe they don't want to discuss that with a stranger.
E. Athletic events are often shown on televisions on the streets.
F. The non-homeless person almost never looks the homeless in the eye.
G. Offering a wish of good will can be a powerful thing to the homeless.
