What makes good conversation?
So it’s a little over 2:30 AM here and like usual I’m still up, doing nothing, just staying up late for no reason. As I’m sitting here watching highlights on SportsCenter, I started thinking about how lately many of my family members like to get on my back about how I’m the quiet one in the family.
I really only speak when I have something worthwhile to say. I don’t like small talk because it’s pointless and meaningless but I’m sick of hearing it from my family. How can I talk to them about things more worthwhile and be less quiet? I never really thought there was anything wrong but they seem to think there is. What do I say? Weird question, I know.
How do you talk to your peers?
