'Answer: Of himself.'

Lol

It's true. Met many people who go on about themselves for hours.

Most people I think like to talk about themselves.

Well, it is the one thing most people know the mosg about, so its basicslly safe territory for a talk~

And if you know how to use that knowledge good enough, you can lead the conversation successfully.
Win-win.

Witty @Decim, I agree with that.

You are more witty. Saw some of your posts. Quite good at leading conversation.

get the person to talk about themselves??

@Decim thats true~ summer is good at that
@Kitsune Alea yeah~ or not? *headtilt*

Precisely~

well, if you want to get the conversation going, but don't know what to talk about, and don't want to talk about yourself, then get the person to talk about himself??

Yeah. That is the alternative. Starts from asking how they spend their days and on it goes.

Many ways and many choices.

I'm actually really bad at answering those questions~

Then which topics are you comfortable with? Pets? Hobbies?

depends on who I talk to. Back when I worked at the library, there would be short conversations with my desk coworkers, but they would die out because they really weren't interested in what I was interested in and I couldn't bring myself to care about what they had to say.

I'm back~
Alea, that way you really can't make others talk about themselves. They'll feel more shy if asked directly. It's better to help them in a way that they can relate to you and feel easy to open up to you.

I don't directly ask them about themselves... (probably)
If I were to plan it, I'd start a conversation and slowly drop hints or make a reference to something I know that they know about or do and see if they latch on to it.

Good approach, but is it sustainable?
I still prefer spontaneous convos.

Librarian? Cool stuff! I wished to work as a librarian as a part-time but my hometown didn't have that big of the library.

Now, my major does not allows me to.

The basic etiquette is that anyways, to drop the hints and references if they are only acquaintances.

My default question to my friends and acquaintances is, 'how is the life going', daily, and my friends say that whenever you ask that question, we wish to slap you. Frankness 100

Decim, serious readers are often bad at opening convos.

spontaneous convo?? In that case, i would try to use something like what they are wearing. That said, I hardly ever get into a spontaneously conversation with anyone.

if there is an anime character on the shirt, it would be a lot easier >.>

I can get into spontaneous conversation alright tho. Like I can talk to strangers quite easily.

being a librarian sounds cooler than it really is. No reading on duty >.>

Alea I c XD
I remember you opened convo with me from a clone account haha

i noticed something that I could make a conversation with~

Decim that's a part of being street smart.

Alea what was it?

Nani. Anime has destroyed my perspective of being a librarian. They are reading on duty!

i no longer remember~

i spent time studying japanese, practicing my drawing on scrap paper, or reading ln online. When in the computer area, I started doing translating.

Multi-talented-KitsuneAlea

I'd just do whatever to kill time.

The first step to learning new things.

Killing time.

they were things I wanted to learn in the first place

Now you are translating. Mission passed.

Skill points 100+

It sounds better than it really is

Indeed. With this, I'm off for now. Have a good day.

bye~

Bye~
