How do you get other people to speak with you? Usually I never know what to say in response.

Being a chatterbox hasn’t worked out too well throughout my life. Even in my second language, German, it’s evident im sort of a “parrot” when it comes to learned social phrases.

Socially exhausted right now and feeling like an alien.

    Got it. Use phrases popularized by surfers/ninja turtles.

      Be Keanu in Point Break, catch the bad guys, get the girl, make friends, profit. A playbook as old as time.

      I see you picked up on the subtext, don’t forget the hand Mario World had in that too (and don’t forget to mention the chicken piccata, that’s the important part) 😉
