"So you got family ?" "I hate them." "Oh... hum what do you do for a living ?" "I'm unemployed." "And what do you want to do ?" "Nothing." "Like... No occupation ?" "I sleep a lot." "So any particular dream ?" "Yes, of going back to bed."
-
"Hey do you see that guy over there?" "Yeah" "I see him too we both have Good eyes"
-
You know you've met the right person when you can be silent and not feel pressured to chatter away mindlessly.
-
"Im a teacher" "When I was younger, I wanted to become a teacher, theres something fullfilling in inspiring others" "Oh, then why didnt you?" "Cause thats a lie, I cant stand children" Going great so far
-
"so what's your occupation?" "no, you're supposed to start with family" "... oh, right, okay"
-
Me, watching this to figure out how to make friends at work: "So, what do you do for a living?" "...Bro, we're both here."
-
The most important thing to know is that you don't have to always be the one keeping the conversation going. If you're the only one asking questions theres a big chance the other person simply doesn't want to talk to you, so go find someone who does, you'll have a much better time.

i usually break the ice by slipping and falling straight on it
-
I find "what's something you'd like to do before you die" is best asked on night strolls through the woods or near a secluded lake.
-
It absolutely blows my mind that some people can just do all of this naturally. It's a painstaking thought process for me every time, and I end up relentlessly focusing on how to have a conversation instead of listening and actually remembering what the person is actually saying.

Imagine approaching a random person and say "You see that guy over there? He really reminds me of my older brother, who's always energetic and not afraid to let loose. I feel like older sibling are all like that. Do you have any siblings?" By the end of this line, person will be gone already.
-
Me: Titanic. Person: What? Me: Sorry, not a good ice breaker.
-
"What's something you'd like to do before you die?" Now THAT's a killer conversation starter!
-
It's really wonderful to come across people who freely share valuable information online. You never know what kind of knowledge you might stumble upon that could have a lasting impact on your life.

Thanks YouTube for recommending me this video, this was the best comment section i have seen
-
-You look like you come from a big family -Why? Cause I'm black?
-
That guy over there has a social security number, my brother also has a social security number. What is your social security number?
-
My four favorite topics to discuss with people I’ve just met….divisive politics, bathroom misadventures, religion and spiders. Works like a charm 👍
-
This is one of the most hilarious comment sections I’ve ever seen
-
I just go straight in there with a conversation about the fundamental absurdity of our transient existence. Death unites us all.
