How do I talk to strangers? I have no idea what to say, and it feels so awkward.

"Yo, you like gore?"

Oh wait.. That would probably just work on me.

But yeah, start with normal subjects, idk, weather perhaps? Try finding common intrest and see how you get along. It's usally very easy to communicate with a person that you have alot in common with. Just don't let the conversation die out, so avoid akward silence by asking more questions, details etc, and allways be ready with a subject changer in case it gets akward!

I literally can't think of subjects to talk about. No way to break the ice, no idea what to use in the environment to start conversation, no idea whats appropriate. Usually creep people out, I think. Just make people uncomfortable.

Nothing is interesting, though. It's all so mundane. And the shit I find interesting just makes people uncomfortable.

Like I find it interesting how brain-dead most people are. But I don't think I can say "wow, I'm surprised that guy found his way out of his house today." Or whatever.

"Wow. Look at that slob"
"How do these people even hold down jobs?"
"Does the intercom need to be so loud?"
"The op-ed section of that paper you're reading is garbage."
"Place kinda smells, huh?"

Feelin' hearttouched in this moment (rare) so I'm gonna share with you a lil something that worked for me...

When I first moved to a big city (I was 18), all by myself on my lonesome, I made a little goal for myself. I was going to attempt to strike up conversation with at least 3 people a day. Most people didn't say shit to me, but some did, and of some of those people there were a few sleazy pervs and a couple desparate, unbalanced individuals, but I did my filtering later. But of all the people in this period that I met I ended up meeting a guy who became a friend and is the brother of the woman I ended up marrying (happily so too). I ended up getting two genuine job leads as well.

Fortune favors the bold. Just do it.
