No really, what do you say to people? No one starts conversations with me and my conversations usually go: Me: "hi", them "hi"... and then it's awkward.
Maybe I can phrase this better. What do you personally say to people to interact and how do you maintain the conversation? Balancing the levels of superficial small talk and more personal info is hard to grasp. Somehow I always distance people without meaning to. Other people make pickup conversations look so easy.
