Today’s
challenge is to initiate a conversation with a stranger while riding a bus.
It was
evening, and I was going home after the lessons. The bus was filled up that’s
why it was almost impossible to find some free space. Also, it was quite
uncomfortable to start a conversation with anyone when you had to hold on tight
to the handrail. Speaking about my feelings, I felt a bit embarrassing and
scared to start the conversation with the young man standing next to me. He was
busy with his mobile phone reading the news. First, I decided to start my
conversation with a question and asked what the next stop is. He answered me
quickly and was quite again. I tried to get him talking by saying “it’s cold
today, isn’t it?”. He agreed with me and nodded his head. After that, I asked
him about the news. His face brightened and he began retelling me what he had
read.
It was a pleasant
experience. Maybe, the next time I’ll also start a conversation with anyone in
the bus.
Thank you for reading this😎
Good job! See, small talk is not always a good idea, though touching upon person's interests may result in a pleasant conversation.
