I cannot make small talk. I can’t just “chit chat” with people. Really. I don’t know what to say.
And I’m sure I come off as snotty or antisocial (don’t most introverts?) because I just sit there not saying anything, not initiating conversation, not even making a casual observation about the weather or the price of eggs in China*.
* 57 cents per dozen, export price
I on the other hand…talk too much….lol
Nice to know the price of the eggs though…lol
Oh, it’s easy. Most of us like to talk about ourselves, so you don’t have to put much effort into it. Just ask about someone’s work or the last party they went to or whatever. Just an opportunity to talk about ourselves–and you’re the highlight of the conversation–the listener!
