eye contact and genuine inquiry is a great start. Turns out everyone has a soul and is basically you in a different form, so they’re actually quite fascinating and lovable. Give it a try.

this might not all apply to you, but sometimes if I overthink social interactions in general, I end up missing out on what could have been a really good conversation. I usually like to ask myself what I’m genuinely curious about/want to know about a specific person and let my questions lead into a more fruitful discussion. worst case scenario is that don’t take the bait and then the conversation ends, but most of the time I find people like talking about themselves, which can lead to something y’all have in common.
I also don’t put pressure on myself to “make a friend” after one interaction. some people require crumbs of interactions before they start to let you in!

i think everybody hates small talk, but everybody is also very different from each other, I guess it’s a matter of being understanding with the person or people you’re talking to at the moment. But I do think that personal questions and talking about real life experiences is what gets conversations going, it’s also what makes you remember people and want to reconnect with them. when talking to somebody new there’s nothing better to a first impression than someone who engages and listens. We get what we give so might as well give as much as we can.

10/10 would recommend. just comes so damn naturally. magnetizes the people to you who will actually appreciate you for who you are, instead of who you pretend to be. repels the people who'd force you to fake it. It's bullet proof, imo.

I love temperate weather. i struggle with style-less beach flop sorts. Nice is Parisian chic meets beach vibes. of course the French did it best. yes forever.

it's actually so cringe and not charming at all to try. The people who don't get it won't get it anyway, and you'll just erode your own minimal sense of self respect by even trying.
Let them crucify you. Martyrs are always remembered.
