Talking in waiting
I don’t really talk much. Mostly because I don’t actually go out of the house much (I pretty much only go out for classes exclusively, like go listen to the lecture and straight back home type or when my parents want to go out to vacation). I really dislike traffic, especially if I’m driving and it’s both going out and back of the house. Sometimes public transport is an option, but only if the place I want to go is accessible through the bus or train, which unfortunately isn’t most of the time.
But there are times that I actually do go out for other reasons. Maybe an old friend invited me to do join an event, or them inviting me for a get together to eat (sometimes I do invite, but that’s rarer than rare). Between going there and meeting them, there is a period of time where I have to wait. Either being on my phone or staying alone. At least, that’s what seems to be the only options.
In my boredom I try to fill it by starting a conversation with someone next to me. I do check if they’re immersed with their phones or a bit non-chalant first to see if they’re okay with someone approaching them. Bonus points if they’re on the same event, that’s my ticket to break the ice. Maybe talk about the day, ask where they going, normal small talk. It’s pretty hard to start it, but I get the hang of it the longer I have to wait.
That said I only do it when I have to wait. I don’t have that much social energy, so after everything is said and done I go crashing to my bed :P I think some people refer it as spoons? Now that I think about it, that’s probably why I hate traffic the most in my friend group.
