Yikes I cannot start a conversation for shyeet... How does one proceed to converse with an individual one has not met before without diving ass-first into basic small talk?

"Oh dear... That... Doesn't sound ideal," Angel commented in a rather hesitant tone.

"Eh, it's not. Sometimes I wait for the other to say hello first. Then, by default, they have to start the conversation," he then paused. "But most people I know are just as bad at starting conversations."

"I know what that feels like," Angel replied with a smile. "Generally, if you don't do something first, nothing will happen."

I've grown super anti-social over the past year or so, and pretty much fell outta' all my circles cept one, so don't take advice from me BUT! Just say hi and carry the conversation. Ask questions, offer RP, talk about something you enjoy. Stuff like that.

I'm not much of a convo-carrier so to speak, but that's worth a shot! Thanks!

I just go for small talk usually, it's the best way to get a feel for where things are and opens up a lot of opportunities to dive into other potentially deeper topics. Is there a reason you want to avoid small talk?

That's good to hear ^^
And no worries! There's nothing inherently wrong with complaining ^^ Hell.. I frequently say that a little venting is good for the soul.

Nah I don't think so either, unless it's excessive of course. You gotta vent somewhere, somehow. ^^
