Why Is It So Difficult To Talk To Strangers
And how to be better at talking with people
Do you feel like you get a hard time chatting with people you don’t know? From asking for an address on the street or even thanking the waiter, do you turn any interaction into something awkward?

We can all be equally sociable
The good side of all this is that we don’t suffer from any disability. From birth, we are good at understanding others and communicating.
