Without small talk how am i supposed to get to know "the basics" about someone?
If i don't know what he does, has he studied, his hobbies and what his interests are, i can't seem to start a deeper conversation. Yes, i can start a generic "what's the meaning of life" conversation, but wouldn't it be better for everyone if i asked specific questions related to that person?
- Closi 6y agoIts a bit of a false dichotomy to say that the alternative to asking “what is your job?” is “what’s the meaning of life?”. Just talk about anything. Talk about how the seats in the pub you are in aren’t comfy, then just yes and whatever they say and it will form a natural conversation. You will know the basics about someone because the conversation will inevitably loop back to that naturally during stories.
