Quick takeaways
- Approach conversations with strangers by observing the people around, finding something that catches your eye, and initiating conversation based on that observation to make connections and potentially form friendships.
- Release any pressure or expectations when starting a conversation with a stranger, and instead, show genuine interest by engaging in light chit chat about observable things like clothing or the environment, understanding that not every interaction will lead to a deep connection.
