This is great advice. Shy or neurodivergent people sometimes struggle to make small talk so this is such a kind way to help them 🥰

I’m neurodivergent and have chronic brain fog so I really appreciate this, I know some people don’t like that I’m like this but I absolutely love talking to people I just don’t often know what to say

I did this on a date and it felt like a job interview (he didn’t get the job I respected his interest in the company but we went with another candidate)

Everyone saying “cut them off” or “leave” fails to see how astronomically helpful this advice is for people in the service industry that struggle with small talk 😭 99% of my time is being forced to smile and be friendly with ppl that hate me

dart monkey :
also helpful to ask questions that can't be answered in a simple one word response. "do you like this place?" vs "what do you think of this place?"

A conversation should not be like pulling teeth. If they don’t want to talk, leave them alone.

This is such a positive and kind-hearted approach! Sure, some people don’t want to talk, but some people do want to connect & struggle with the convo.

i am a medium support needs autistic person who interacts with a lot other people like me. while i've already worked quite a bit on my communication skills, others haven't yet -- and these methods really help everything feel more open!

I can get people to talk really well, but if you’re not reciprocating with me back and just expecting me to ask you a million questions, I’m gonna dip very quickly 😭

im a therapist that works with kids who are often not interested in talking with me at all (I do crisis intervention and kids often think im there to punish them or take them away) and these are techniques I use to warm them up to conversation!

royallyy :
this is exactly it! as someone who used to have a very difficult time holding conversations due to shyness/anxiety, talking with someone who helps you through a conversation was exactly what i needed to get better at it
