What do you talk about and how do you introduce yourself?
I can't help but feel like I'd be intruding on their life or something. I want to get to know some people at my work but, I just dont know how to start up a back and forth. I cant just start rapid drilling interview questions, but I dont want to go in there and act all weird cause I stutter when im nervous. I try to come up with excuses or some tangents related thing to start up a thing but never do it.
Everytime I've tried to speak to someone new(if they come to me first), I always end up with my mind racing to make conversation, not speaking up, dumb little canned phrases and responses to what they say, and then ultimately making some half baked excuse to leave and then cry in my corner about how awkward I've been. Iunno how to stop that.
Its so much easier when im behind a screen or we have a common goal we're doing but this isnt always an available option. These are people I only ever see while were on break.
