Do you make small talk?

Do you make small talk, are you any good at it with strangers?

I often initiate it when I am at tills or with people at bus stops. Especially with taxi drivers too. I know a lot of people hate it but I always think it brightens up somebody's day if you talk to them as for all you know they could, after work, return home and just be on their own alone.

What about you?

I've become a lot better at small talk through work and dealing with drunken people who just want to talk utter rubbish to you. So yeah, I do find myself talking to the woman at the ticket barrier at the train station or the till lady at the super market. I agree, its nice to talk to them and also you get better service as they tend to remember you if you talk to them regularly.

I don't like people.

It depends, usually if i'm in a confident mindset I will. Other than that I keep to myself.

you've got your hxf friends don't worry x

I have to in work, but outside of it, then no. I feel really awkward and uncomfortable.

lmao I absolutely hate smalltalk and today I was watching the news about budget changes in 1 of my uni receptions while I waited for class to start and some guy came n tried to talk to me about minimum wage changing lol go away m8 I'd actually rather watch george osbourne than talk to u u raggedy old man

I really do hate it. I'm actually such a shy person in person when I don't know somebody. I'll try to avoid talking as much as possible when I don't know someone

I'm good at it but I don't think I push it enough

like sometimes if a mutual friend leaves a room and it's me and someone I don't know very well or a colleague etc more than often I won't initiate anything, just don't feel the need

but if I want to I have no problem with it, taxi drivers I dont mind at all and I'll happily chat
