Are You Good At Small Talk?

[mariaLigaya]

yes. i am para mawala ung awkwardness.

[ulongilaw]

Getting there. It takes practice and courage to face failure in order to learn how to small talk.

[Chulapeg]

I am the worst at it. Anti-social ako, so super hirap ng small talk for me.

[Mr. E.]

MOST people are nice people; and have no problem talking to you. The best thing that I ever learned was F.O.R.D. (family, occupation, recreation, dreams). Those are four areas that everyone has something to talk about. There are also a ton of open-ended questions you can ask. If I ever stall out in a conversation, I just ask an open-ended question related to one of those four areas and it gets me out. People like people that make them feel interesting; and people like people that like them. If you are asking genuine questions and actually listening to the answers, it's pretty easy to make friends.

[Papa Popoy]

I think so...

[Bacteria]

No!

[ozman88]

Not really. I usually try to gauge people before doing small talk.

[mitochondrion]

i'm decent at it. although the F.O.R.D. tip above may prove very useful

[Guest k E i J i 👻]

Yes.

[Stephen A.]

I want to. Especially kung maganda yung makakausap mo. But i'm not good at it. Sometimes mapagkamalan akong snob but actually i'm too shy to start or continue the conversation.

[mukai]

quite a bit or not even at all. haha

[Ergonomic]

Yes, if I have to.
