cam 🫪 :

“Do you like cheese” actually made me LOL

user6827906126291 :

Some of those follow up questions sound so unnatural though. Like if I don’t know you and you ask me “do you think people should have an outdoor hobby?” That’s weird. It’s like an interview or a boring philosophical question.

Cabz :

I like Gouda

jinandtonic :

im always tryna keep my privacy private but how am I gon connect w others??????????? I gotta figure that out

aluna 🐥 :

I've always tried asking follow up questions to ease the awkward silence, especially in family gatherings, but my cousin mocked me for looking like I'm trying too hard to blend in or just nosy

bridge :

i also throw in compliments

angeliquethanthony :

Since when did silence become a bad thing.

Joyce 🐆🎱☀️ :

But What do I say if the other person responds “not much”??

Lupe Mendoza :

but I actually don’t gaf and won’t pretend I do 😭🫩 🤷‍♀️

Lace ⟬⟭ ⟭⟬ ⁷ :

and they always answer with "uhh" "yea" or looks else where.

Samantha Verret :

My favorites Gouda

Dave :

I like to test people with silence because I believe that how people respond to silence can sometimes tell you more about them than their words.

‧˚꒰🐾୭ ˚. ᵎᵎ :

i really need these videos cause i was like “what else would you say” after the first conversation 😭

lanishakeisha :

Idk if conversations look like this you just don’t mesh, I feel like convos should be easy with two people that actually want to engage with eachother.

BLUE VANY 🌈⃤ :

I actually have to learn how to do the opposite cuz I’m so good at keeping the conversation going that people don’t try back and we always end up talking about them

Savvy_Sightseer :

Teaching people this is weird. If thinking about others and inquiring about them doesn’t come naturally to someone, then it’s fake and no one wants that either. Rather just sit in silence.

Kaid :

The thing with me is that I genuinely don’t care and I’m not gonna pretend to care because that really painful for me so I just don’t talk lol

adalberrie :

I love awkward silence, maybe the other stop talking for good🙈

DJ Flip-U :

Thank goodness I'm old enough to revel in awkward silences.

MJ Gomez 🦋 :

No me interesa tanto en la vida de los demás
