bilyarcity Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 ok lang pero i rarely initiate small talk... i sometimes like to keep to myself unless i am really bored or frustrated.. Quote Link to comment
jlx Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 most of the time yes. i'm fairly talkative. make that VERY talkative. given that everything is normal then you can throw me anywhere anytime and i can usually find something to talk about with that person. but also give that the other person is normal and not some major KJ:D Quote Link to comment
Guest lustfortravel Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 i normally am good at small talk. but there are just certain situations when it seems awkward to even engage in small talk. for instance, i once accompanied a friend to his clinical psychologist ( he was under a lot of stress lately) and since i had no business inside the doctor's office, i sat in the waiting room. the next patient came in and sat beside me. which made me wonder: how do you make small talk inside a psychologist's office? you can't say something like " anong sakit mo? bipolar? ay talaga? yung friend ko naman, schizo".

sliderule Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Easier said than done...but I think the key to small talk is to make him/her comfotable enough to do most of the talking. Try to come off genuinely interested in what he/she has to say. I think people would prefer to talk than listen and knowing how to create a situation where they feel they have the liberty to yap away is a skill one must possess to engage in successful small talk.

LYCHEE Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 kapag walang preno mga bumabangka at mahirap kumabig lalo na sa inuman, konti salita lang katapat sabay iskiyerda na... :upside: Quote Link to comment
1800donttry Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 When I want to, I can. In most cases though, I like to be left alone... I despise having to make small talk when I'm on the Metro Bus or when I'm standing in line somewhere... But at parties, functions, etc., I find that it's pretty easy. Â Also, if I find that I have nothing in common with a person or if I find that we have nothing to talk about, I move on. Quote Link to comment

bastard69 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Depends on the one i'm talking to - meaning - hindi ako magaling sa small talk.hehe tips guys? Quote Link to comment
baratobama Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Depends on the one i'm talking to - meaning - hindi ako magaling sa small talk.hehe tips guys? Kung gusto mo, basahin mo ang front page ng newspaper bago ka lumabas ng bahay. :thumbsupsmiley: Depende sa tao at sa topic. Kung mga tipong usapang NBA/DotA, ayos naman. Pero kung hindi ko gusto ang kausap ko, kelangan na lang maging polite. Di ba? Quote Link to comment
Defiant Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I'm usually quite and listen when it comes to small talk... And start talking when it comes to the important stuff. Quote Link to comment
punkus Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 i think it depends on how easily you can connect with the other person, kung magka jive yung utak nyo..madali lang...pag hindi might as well forget it...hehe Quote Link to comment
