There are some people who do not enjoy small talk. However, it can be a good way of getting to know someone without making them feel uncomfortable. Some people have a hard time communicating with others, and so they are reserved and quiet. Small talk is way to get them to speak up and get out of their shell.
What are some good ways to start a conversation? It depends on the person, but generally, you would start off by asking for their name. Then, you can ask questions like where are they from, what do they do, and what do they enjoy.
After you build a basic foundation of understanding what that person is like, you can delve into deeper discussions through common interests.
If you find that you are completely different from the person you are talking with, you can either try understanding their lifestyle and getting to know them more (spark with new ideas), or you can choose to politely walk away and continue small talking with others to find the person that shares the same ideology as you. Small talk is also a way for people coping with social anxiety to meet new people.
Some people do not mind getting into deep discussions. However, sometimes it’s good to start off with the surface level of communication. Deep discussions can overwhelm some people. Plus, some people prefer taking their time to get to know a person, possibly because they feel guarded.
