Thanks

Any tips on starting up convos, I have a friend who’s locker is near mine and we always just stand there awkwardly she’s mentioned before that she hates small talk (like how’s ur day and things like that she like stalking about topics if u get what I mean) I hate how every time I have to start a convo I talk about myself before trying to move the convo onto her as I try to implement ur active listening techniques. How does one start a convo with someone while it being about them (and not creepy like “oh I noticed u have a new key ring” or is that creepy I dunno I suck at this) plz help

thank you bro

It also works if you are getting down or depressed.
Just help someone and your own mood will improve. It's like a cheat code.
Although it doesn't cure depression, it still helps

It's comforting to know that a simple mindset shift of just supporting the conversation rather than myself in the conversation is great for improving my social skills.
