RE: Do better than "small talk"!

in #life7 years ago

I like small talk. It's a quick way to break the ice because you both have an understanding of the topic. If I went on a first date and started explaining the principles of how steemit works if she isn't a member she may never return my calls.

Small talk has been around forever and there's a good reason for it. Communicaton shouldn't be made any harder than it already is for those who suffer from anxiety etc.

I like the article and it does have meaning but in this particular occasion I can't agree with you 😀

Sort:  

I agree that small talk is useful, especially when you first start talking about someone, you can't go to a random person and tell him or her "hey, let's talk about religion, because it's interesting".

However I also believe trying to move the conversation from small, not really interesting things, to more complex subjects, is a good idea, and the sooner, the better.

Anyway, I understand your point of view, thank you very much for your comment :)

Thanks for understanding 😀

No problem, glad I could exchange some opinions with others :)
