If I wanna strike a convo with someone and I don’t know what to say in the moment I just find something to compliment them on. Even if it doesn’t lead to a full blown convo it will at least 100% make their day so there’s really nothing to lose.

As a bartender, I talk to so many people every day and at some point I just decided that Im gone expect every single guest to wanna talk to me and IT WORKS SO WELL! Even when people come in and aren’t chatty, I’ll still pretend like I’m having the best time and tell them random fun facts about my day and whenever I think to myself that maybe I was doing too much, those are ALWAYS the customers who give a double tip or give a compliment to my manager about how fun their dinner was! I’m still always surprised but people are so lonely and 99% of the time they’re looking for connection and people who interrupt their daily routine😭

I'm started yapping to random strangers in public about anything. if they do end up thinking I'm weird that's fine because I'll probably never see them again.

I tell so many fresh graduates that if they are single, they should go on tons of first dates, as it teaches you to chat with strangers and to prep elevator pitches on the fly

My main thing is that I can talk to people and usually leave with a omg so nice to meet you but then it dies off and that’s it. I don’t actually know how to continue on for it become a friendship 🧍🏽♀️

I think there is some sort of intermediary ground between ‘small talk’ and ‘deep conversations’. Simple gestures that are more for testing the waters and vibe checking. Like a lot of the things you list in the video. It’s not even testing if there’s a big connection but really just code to see if they want to talk more and figure it out.

How to bond with colleagues that you have nothing in common with? (e.g. they’re parents, they’re older, they have different roles/task than yours..) i struggle so much more in that context than with random regular strangers haha 🥲
