I grew up w/ parents who thought little odd small-talk. They'd say "small talk is for small minds", so I never learned. My personality is on the cusp of introversion/extroversion & I like being in conversations but don't always know how to initiate it.
@StacyKell the advice that was given to me is that the topic doesn't matter, just got to get the conversation started. The conversation will spread from there
@TheCuriousWoodworker
That's the biggest thing I struggle with. 🤷🏻♀️
@StacyKell practice
I find most people want to talk, but aren't sure what to say. Just say something... observation, thought, the fact you're staying new socks🤷♂️
If I want to try something new I'll practice on some random stranger. If he or she thinks I'm a freak - chances are I'll never actually see them again. No loss and now they have a story to tell🤣🤣
