I want to improve my social skills. I thought by way of stepping out of my comfort zone. So here’s what I thought:
Try and make conversation to a random person, location or occasion be damned, at least once per week. With saying more than two sentences be deemed sufficient. If the other person does not initially respond amicably (to the first sentence), I leave them alone.
Public bathrooms are fine. You just have to make sure you get the urinal next to the other person.
Alternatively, if you’re in a stall and hear someone struggling, with flatulence for example, you should call out to them and tell them that you hear them and empathize.
