Socially awkward people often find it difficult to make conversation with people, here are some ways you can try to feel less awkward.
If socializing is difficult for you then trying it online will be easier. Replying to a social media story or posts can be a good starter to initiate a conversation online.
Everyone likes compliments so starting a conversation with a healthy sweet compliment can help a lot. But while maintaining a boundary to make the other person feel comfortable.
If you don’t know where to start just go introduce yourself like “hey, I am (your name) and I work/study in (your department), it’s nice meeting you.
People love talking about themselves so asking open-ended questions which will make them build interest and want to talk to you more.
Telling a story or talking about some shared experience will make the conversation more relatable and it would be easier to keep the conversation going.
Offering help or asking for some tiny favor is the great way to initiate the conversation and to get connected and helping also helps in building trust.
