So, Shard, I have a question.
How do you people?
I realize that that might not be the best question to ask on a site full of bookworms, but seriously. How do you:
- Talk to people outside of when you have to (for a project, job, etc.)
- Make friends
- Maintain friendships
I'm at a loss.
SpoilerPlease help, I have two weeks to figure this out.

1. Small Talk: fake it til you make it. Every time I’m forced to make small talk with someone I don’t really know, it’s just, literal fight or flight response. Just ultimate panic mode. But you just have to keep smiling and asking/answering questions. Also, let me introduce you to the magic words “let me let you go.” Easiest exit out of a conversation ever, especially phone calls.
2. make friends: extracurricular activities work pretty well for this. Common interests and all that.
3. maintain friends: Don’t be a jerk, don’t be friends with jerks, don’t actively avoid them or go months without talking.
