Places where i can practice social skills

Post Reply New Topic

Could you suggest places where i can go and practice conversational skills? Besides parties and get togethers, i need an environment with strangers where it is acceptable to start a conversation. I finished school, and job isnt an option right now, so there goes two of the most obvious answers. Be it classes, hobby groups or whatever - it needs to be a place where i have many "guinea pigs" to practice on

What do you say? I only got the bus and maybe the gym.

Grocery store checkout - you have to buy groceries so might as well chat with the cashier. Most of them seem happy to chat with customers, probably beacuse the job can be a bit monotonous I'm guessing.

Cahsiers at other stores as well. It's easy not to say much to a cashier but most of them do seem willing to engage in a short converstaion as long as they aren't too busy.

A mirror.

Ok so ive got grocery, bus and maybe the gym. Neither of them is like school though. Anything else?

You might have to join something - as you suggested maybe a class (how about an evening class in something for fun that you like: cooking, photography, etc.) or a hobby group in something of interest.

Would get you talking with other people about something you like and are interested in.

art class, you can talk to people while drawing or painting
