11 People Share the Topics They Could Talk About for 30 Minutes Straight With No Prep Time

Through our life experiences, our interests and our opinions, there are many subjects that each of us know a lot about. There are also many subjects that we just enjoy talking about. These subjects vary widely from person to person, but everyone probably has at least a couple topics they enjoy talking about.

Picture yourself at a party, and all at once you hear someone mention something that sparks your interest. You just have to join the conversation, and you find yourself with endless words to add to the subject.

On the flip side, sometimes there may be someone in your life (a grandparent, an uncle, a co-worker) who loves talking about a subject that you find boring and they seem to drone on and on forever.
