Don’t give me ‘get off of social media’. I want practical tips that can be used when talking to random people in public places.

    My trick is being open, interesting, and excited. Everyone has something to say and I love being someone to hear it. Couple that with my refusal to acknowledge the social feaux pas of Turing pleasantry into conversation and the fact that I look and dress like a cartoon and it’s hard not to make friends everywhere you go.

      And if you have to choose only one, be excited for other people. Genuine interest gets you so far, even if you don’t feel very interesting yourself.
