What do normal people talk about? How do I break into normal society when I have nothing to say?
>>3451582190% of ALL human conversations, even among intellectuals, are on the "small talk" level - sports, celebrities, TV shows, local gossip, politics, etc. The key to learning how to play the game is to recognize it IS a game. Nobody is really all that interested in sports, gossip, politics, etc. The thing-being-talked-about is just an excuse for the social event of standing around and talking together, affirming friendship just by acting friendly.So you don't have to know a lot. The physical act of being in the group as the conversation goes on makes you part of the friendship-affirming exercise, and ANY contribution - even a "Yeah" or "I agree" - is enough.
