Networking is so not me.
But knowing it importance, it hard to constantly remind myself to do it.
I find it very unnatural to engage in small talk. I find it mentally draining to find conversational topics. I find it irritating to talk for the sake of talking..
I still like being genuine, talk because it matters, ask because I really care, listen because I'm really concern.
I guess, this is just part of being an introvert.
you should still be genuine in ur small talk. it does makes it feel more natural.
ReplyDeletei read somewhere on how to make small talk -
1. say hi n make introductions on where u work/study, etc.
2. ask about hobbies/interests
3. try to strike a common interests ground. if dont have then it's ok to move on to another group.
