I’ve just been to an event.
It was in the company of strangers I have never met before, absolutely nothing in common with these people, nothing.
So me being as socially awkward and super anxious as I was, I found it excruciating.
It wasn’t until right near the end that one of these people (they were all really nice btw) asked me if I have children. I could have bloody kicked myself as I could have been asking things like this from the get go to open up shared conversations but I didn’t think of it.
So give me your top tips on how to do small talk, a rehearsed script of things to ask, conversation openers and how to keep it flowing.
Please and thanks very much.
