Even as a kid, I had always kept my distance when I get stuck in a crowd full of strangers. I remember one time when I joined a Spelling Bee contest, I was so nervous while seated next to a boy who kept on looking and smiling at me. I knew he only wanted to make me calm but I couldn't bring myself to talk to him and assure him I was okay. I realized back then that I was no good in talking or small talks for that matter. Until I reached high-school and college, I have always found myself struggling to talk to others.Now that I'm already of age, I still want to overcome this weakness. I am glad I got this book, Small Talk in Just Minutes by Adam Anderson. It contained really helpful tips on how I can approach someone and get engaged in small talks in minutes. I now understand why I had this difficulty talking to other people. It's what the book called as the Fear of Being Rejected, afraid that the other people would judge me for being sociable. This book opened my mind about the things I need to do to be able to stop feeling awkward and anxious. I also want to give props to the various scenarios included in the book, it really helps a lot!I highly recommend this book to every man and woman who are struggling to find the right words to say. This book will help you gather your courage up and find yourself engaged in small talk in just minutes!
