Do you remember the last time you were a part of a conversation, the other talkers looked your way and all they received from you was an uncomfortable moment of silence (the dreaded “pregnant pause”)?
Life isn’t all sex and french fries.
Many people, men and women, can run out of something to say. And if you’re with someone you like, running out of conversation is on par with over-drinking and becoming an obnoxious giant-mouthed bigot.
Yup, it’s that bad.
The pregnant pause never has to happen if you do one of two things:
1) read regularly, and/or
2) be an active member of real-world social clubs.
It’s important to note that people that do not run out of conversation topics are also people that frequently participate in conversations.
If you’re “too shy” to talk with people then that is something you need to work on. You can join a social club (Toastmasters has chapters in many towns and cities), read and stay on top of the daily news and current events.
You have to expand your horizons if you want to be able to be heard and have people that want to hear you.
Or you’ll become old, alone and stupidly opinionated, not knowing much about the world around you other than your own miserable experiences.
