if u dont talk other peoples views of u are not extreme wtf, ull just be looked at as dull even if u think u have more to offer which is good
so u want to get better
and plus u can eavesdrop on many peeps chatting, outside, at a house, gym, whatever and ull find that some are cool and others just FORCED
so when u small talk think about ADDING somethin new or at least pleasant
u cant just be good at it, i mean those people u were with may have much more experience with s**t like that, maybe they grew up in a family that TALKED a lot, they remembered a lot
my family for example, we didnt have too many conversations, just some standard communication....even tho its NOT required now days to small talk i liked it
u can simply start off by reading a good newspaper daily, forming opinions and then just mentioning the interesting parts
but to be honest guy, it mostly has to do with ur MOOD
i cant talk AT ALL when im in a bad mood, i literally dont know what to say, but on the contrary im not as lost u just appreciate life more in those moments
