What should I talk about with people from my classes

- SHOULD i talk with my classmates?
-Do people try to avoid classes with all strangers?
-What do people relate to that isn't over-personal?

I talk with everyone even though I hate people.

I just have to let people know something sometimes. And it's usually about how I feel about something.

For example, I was standing in Tim Hortons for a coffee and reading the news paper and I blurt out - yep I blurted out - that I was not happy
about the government cutting 15B dollars over the course of five years from the budget. And people in line actually talked with me. Guess what? People actually care. And they have souls. And mouths. And ears. They can hear and see just like you and me, and they want to talk to people too. Maybe not you, or maybe it's just their mood, but people are people. And they're tired of being domesticized, and put in cubicles and told to produce a certain amount of numbers. So it's refreshing when somebody, anybody - as long as they're not dangerous - talks to them. About anything. And if they don't know what you're taking about - and they seem interested - then explain it to them. They'd love to learn something new.

And your intentions don't have to be geared towards a certain desire. Just the desire to interact with other human beings, and if you choose to interact with someone physically attractive for the purpose of dating - then that's fine too. But the intention initially should be to GET TO KNOW SOMEONE. Because you have to be friendly in order to be a friend. And guess what else?

People have all the time in the world for you. If they want to. People make time. If you start a conversation with someone, they'll switch directions to stay and talk to you. In order to end the conversation. But they end it for a number of reasons.

Reasons being they want your contact info or they don't want to talk to you anymore. But as soon as you meet someone, that's when you get a chance to show someone the REAL you.

So give it a go. With anybody. I would suggest starting with your teacher, or co workers, or in this case your peers. Anybody. Pick someone that you think you might interact with well and give it a go. Or someone you might not interact with - just to experiment with. That's all we are really. Just a bunch of cattle that gets experimented on and f**k each other.

Life is really just a simple formula. It's dedicate your time to something you love and in turn everything you interact with and your perspective will be geared towards intentions containing variables that match those intentions. So in turn your formula interacts well with those with the same intentions. So life really does just work itself out once you love what you're doing.

If someone is in your class, and you want to get to them, you should TRANSITION from a safe topic to a more personal topic.

Start talking about the class and teacher in particular.
Then talk about what the person studies.
Then ask them why they are interested in what they study.
Talk about that.
Then gradually move on to both of your other interests (outside of school).
