How to be good at small talk and create a lasting impression even if you currently hate it.Weather. Travel. Food. Netflix shows...
Is that all your small talk rotates around?
Is this how you want to come across as interesting to people you meet?
Even you know this will not spike anyone's interest in you. You may be interesting to talk to, but others wouldn't know from your regular ways of small talk.
The nature of small talk is to be uninteresting. Generic. Uninspiring. It's the method humans have quietly settled on in polite society to create bonds without offending anyone or being too vulnerable.
Thus, it never leads to anything. No meaningful relationships are formed over small talk. The trick to great small talk is not to let it remain small.
Small talk serves as a starter to a main course of conversation.
If you want to get better at small talk, you have to find the confidence to avoid the uncomfortable silence when you are standing close to someone and make an effort to vaguely know them.
To get really good at talking to people, you have to reveal a bit of yourself (step slightly out of your comfort zone, yes!), and get good at improvisation.
