50 Questions You Can Ask Your Friends While FaceTiming — Instead of Talking About Coronavirus

I, like many others, have been FaceTiming friends to keep myself from going fully insane while social distancing. Being an extrovert is difficult, y’all! After a conversation with a pal in London yesterday in which we spiraled out about everything from going to the grocery store to our parents’ health, she texted me a list: “Conversation Starters That Aren’t About Coronavirus” and added, “feel free to add to the list for next time we chat.”

Excusez-moi? Do anything but constantly talk about how scary everything feels? The idea (perhaps stupidly) hadn’t occurred to me. I stared at the list she started of questions to ask each other while we FaceTime and starting adding more.

Not that it isn’t totally important to stay informed about everything going on in the world, but constantly talking only about how the world seems to be all bad all the time can get exhausting.

With so much free time to talk to your friends and many people making FaceTime dates with their friends to keep from being totally isolated, here are some questions you can ask each other to gear the conversation toward non-coronavirus-related things.

Whether you’ve known each other for years or are new friends, talking about something other than how anxious you both are can help you learn a little something about each other.  Happy conversation-starting, friends!
