Revolution Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Are you good at talking to people you barely know about, introducing yourself, etc.?
wxvii Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Not at all. In fact, I’m so bad at it & hate it so much that headphones are an essential anytime I am out in public. It deters randos the best, but some are still bold enough to bother you EVEN when your headphones are in… 1
KFC Posted January 8 Posted January 8 If I'm mentally prepared and in a situation I'm comfortable in yes 2
Strawberry Bubble Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Strangers drain my energy. But there are exceptions, of course. Sometimes you click with the right person.
Jon Snow Posted January 8 Posted January 8 I think that most of the time I am and that people seem comfortable while talking to me
ATRL Moderator feelslikeadream Posted January 8 ATRL Moderator Posted January 8 It depends on a lot of factors: age, gender identity, sexual orientation, etc. I think I'm best with older people, worst with children/teens. Straight men are also fine cause I start with, "So how big is it?" to break the ice.
liam13 Posted January 8 Posted January 8 no, even with people i know. if i dont click w them, i usually dont talk much, small or big.
Archetype Posted January 8 Posted January 8 It depends on if we vibe or have something in common. But yes I can force myself to appear friendly
John Slayne Posted January 8 Posted January 8 it depends, i think i can appear sufficiently friendly and personable if the situation requires it. i have the hardest time with straight people (and men specifically) though as i can never gauge what they want to talk about and they just seem very alien to me tbh 3
Devin Posted January 8 Posted January 8 i HATE small talk. if the convo holds no substance i get annoyed.
Yawn Posted January 8 Posted January 8 rarely. someone else needs to carry the convo or we need something in common to discuss… like MPGs
Dialamba Posted January 8 Posted January 8 I don’t like starting the conversation. But once I’m comfortable I’m friendly.
Outlaws Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Oh, very. My boyfriend is always surprised at how us latinos (mostly) get along with others so easily right after we meet them, and then a few become some of our very best friends after some time.
DamianSolo Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Definitely, yes. Not every conversation needs to be a deep philosophical conversation. You can learn about someone and connect over small talk. That's how a lot of friendships are formed, through small talk. It's an important skill to learn, as it relates to being able to effectively communicate with others.
WEEKND Posted January 8 Posted January 8 I am but that’s because I can be a manipulative evil demon. 😒
Khal Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Yes. Didn't know until summer last year when I switched jobs, but it comes very easy to me, and it's not hard to fake interest in what people are saying. It's kinda draining because most of the time I don't even want to be talking to half of these people.
prézli Posted January 8 Posted January 8 At a workplace? Yes. In reality? Not really. Not impossible, though.
Triton Posted January 9 Posted January 9 When I have to but normally no since honestly I’m not interested.
