start 100 conversations

haven’t written on this lately, but I think I see some slow improvement. I think I’ve had a few little conversations, but since they’re becoming a leeettle more natural, I haven’t taken so much of a notice.

One in particular was yesterday, I made a joke with an attendant and a got a little laugh and some other response.

I was stranded at a lunch with so many people that I didn’t know. I was proud that I did start talking with a few of the people, but it really fizzled out since I didn’t have much to say, as usual. :(

I feel like I’m cheating since these were barely conversations, but I will count these just to give myself a little push

2 Made a joke to some women in the hallway at work, they even laughed!

3 talked with a woman at the animal shelter about how her dog likes to listen to Spanish radio.

Ok, I am starting out realllly slowly here. So I’m going to allow myself to count conversations I start with cashiers/shopkeepers/other ppl who are paid to be nice to me. So I started a little conversation w/ the pharmacist the other day. Small moves!

Well, I’ll go easy on myself at the beginning, since I’m new to this. So if I talk with anyone I wouldn’t normally talk to, and elicit an answer more than “mmph”, I can count it. Also no “fruitless” questions like “how’s it going?” If I keep it up, by 100 I’ll be a pro ;)
