Rec | STRIKING UP CONVERSATION WITH STRANGERS

🌎

I work the front desk of a hotel, and I’ve met some really interesting people by taking our conversations ~just~ beyond the realm of customer service pleasantries. literary critics, accomplished visual artists, astrophysicists working on the next space telescope, and a whole conference of very friendly Kantians. it’s a big world, with lots of interesting people in it!

Striking up conversations with random strangers

Talking to strangers

It’s nice to remember that the world is brimming with kind people. I by no means have lengthy conversations with them, but even a joke or an observation to the store attendant makes me feel like I am the sort of person who is casual about things. It’s fun and reminds me to get outside my (sometimes claustrophobic) bubble.

talking to strangers

whenever i’m waiting in line, or walking next to someone, i love to try start a conversation. just say hi, try to make some small talk and see what happens. sometimes its awkward, but sometimes we really hit it off. its scary at first but ive found im always glad i did it. usually i don’t even get their name - its just nice getting to know someone
