    Maybe it’s my crossed wires upstairs but i hate talking about family and jobs. I genuinely don’t care about your job and hardly your family.

    These are the things people really want to know about?

      It’s not what they want to know about, it’s what they find easy to talk about. They’re topics that everyone has some connection with, and with which you’re unlikely to cause a significant disagreement by bringing it up. You start with the easy stuff, and then use whatever comes up as a bridge to more meaningful conversation.

      It Kind of depends. I work somewhere where I can do what I like to do. I constantly learn new things and can take part in good projects. This means, that I kind of like to talk about it. I usually assume that other people have that too and thats why I ask them.
