If you are like me and you find making and taking phone calls as just plain
awkward or making a proper conversation with someone a mission. You often
ask yourself what is this communication thing? What is this friendship thing?

WHAT IS THIS GETTING TO KNOW EACHOTHER THING?

Do not get me wrong I am not talking about physically talking to someone
because I can talk for days on end without really saying anything. I am talking
about an actual conversation with REAL communication with another person
without feeling like being hit by a truck or falling off a building would be less
painful.
Communication to me, is taking an actual interest in what someone else is
saying and by that you end up sharing information and ideas. For the most
part of the year I had to learn how to start and properly maintain conversations
and if I failed at that, at least fake it. So I have come up with what I think is the
perfect formula to make things a little less awkward for you

1. It is ok to smile back.
2. The average conversation with a stranger is about 3 minutes; hang on
   it won’t take long. (Yes I researched)
3. Ask questions, then you won’t have to talk that much.
4. Remember to keep smiling but not that creepy, I’m a stalker long smile.
   Just a friendly one to keep them reassured.
5. Gauge who you talking to, listen carefully at the language they use, in
   that way you know whether or not to be formal with them.
   6.
   If all else fails and you really need to stop the conversation, pull an Engrish
   line on them. “I’m for the need to leave it now,” proper conversation killer.
