Q: I want to be better at conversations so I can impress people and feel like they are actually interested in what I have to say. Do you think if I was kinda cryptic during my conversations it would make me seem significantly cooler and more mysterious? You know get them to ask ME questions! Lol or do you think it'll totally backfire and make no one want to talk to me ever again??? Really shooting for intellectual vibes not lone wolf vibes thnx.
A: you can't predict how things will go in any future conversation. you're doing all this thinking about it, now, while not in a real conversation, and that actually sends you in the wrong direction. conversations are impossible to understand until you are actually there. the key is spending more and more and more time talking to people. you'll learn everything you need to know, and also develop your own style
