a thought about daring to speak to less well known people

Post Reply New Topic

Statement: Daring to speak to 'strangers' or not well known people is rewarded even if not expected.

Example: If I dare to speak to someone even if I hesitate because of bad experiences with speaking to people, then I might suddenly be involved in a discussion that I like, and while beeing in the discussion I won't regret at all that I had the courage to start a conversation like that.

Personal experience: In the past when I was in a computer 'lab' at high school I took the courage to speak to a person that I didn't know but since we were sitting pretty quietly in one place pretty near each other, I found the time to think of stuff to say, so it was easier to communicate in that environment to a stranger.

I often find strangers much more interested in listening, and thus much easier to talk to.


Typically, its older people who are most receptive to this. I'm trying to make it a habit of going down to the local coffee shop and chatting with random people.

Or you might find yourself in a conversation with someone who is mute like I almost did a minute ago. Your words have no meaning, aren't even comprehended, in fact, mutes are worthless. Anyone remember Gallaudet University student's outrage when the president of the university wasn't deaf? Worthless ****s.
