Any good books on making small talk and being a better conversationalist in general? I don’t interact with many people (I work night shift, but I get along really well with a lot of my coworkers), I have 2-3 close friends, but it has recently been brought to my attention that I can sometimes be a little off putting, just in the way that I can’t naturally really do small talk or conversation. Like people will try to small talk with me and I think I have problems recognizing it as small talk, so I won’t ask them questions back if that makes sense, it’s very one sided. I was a very very shy kid so I just never really learned I guess
I don’t want the book to be anything like those corny self help books about manifesting your best life or dominating the corporate world. I just want to have meaningful conversation with people I meet.
