Talking to strangers/art of small talk

Anyone feel they’re pretty good at this?

I used to be really fuxking good at this during my college years, now I’m lost when it comes to meeting people or talking to strangers.

I’m an expert at it, but I also hate people. So there’s that.

Not with anybody but with people that have a certain look that I think we would relate in a way

I do it all the time. Its fun and not as hard as yo think. Most people cant wait to tell you about themselves.

I just pretend I'm interviewing them like Rogan. It makes it easier because most people love talking about themselves and their interests.

Small talk is so easy. If you have a hard time doing it, you're most likely an autist.

That’s exactly why I don’t care to talk to people anymore lmfao. Most people are just 100% ego; only a few people that I’ve met the past couple of years that actually had cool stories to talk about.

when you're good at communicating you literally dominate every social situation. srs.

nobody uses hands to fight anymore.

99.9% of conflict is won or lost through words.


you have to dominate with words first and foremost in 2021. especially if you want a woman.

It's not that I am bad, I just don't care to do small talk in the area that I live in.

My attempts at small talk have always gone political and racial as that's all that people in Portland, OR want to talk about.
