I'm hopeless at small talk and have a problem making eye contact.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not good at meeting people, and I'm not good at small talk.
I'm not a good small talker. I'm not into small talk, frankly.
I'm shy at public speaking, which is tough.
I'm much less shy in conversation than I am on my own.
The trouble with me is that I like to talk too much.
You're in a much better position to talk with people when they approach you than when you approach them.
When you're in a conversation, genuinely be in it. Stare people in their eyes. Know what you're talking about. Enjoy that moment.
My trouble is I talk first and think later.
No matter how poor my eyes are I can still talk.
What better way to connect with people than by staring and talking straight at them? Don't blink - that's one less connection you could have made.
