Ever freeze up and have NO idea what to say? 😅 Yep, been there! I used to dread awkward silences—until I found some go-to tricks that work every time. Here’s what I do now: • Start with a simple phrase: “Oh, by the way…” or “This is so random, but…” • Compliment them! Everyone loves a little boost. “Your outfit is everything!” • Ask easy questions: “What do you like to do in your free time?” • If things get heavy, I keep it real: “I’m so sorry you’re going through this.” • When someone shares good news? I hype them up: “OMG, I’m so proud of you!” • For work stuff, I don’t panic—just ask for a sec to think or clarify the question. Honestly, it’s all about being genuine and showing you care. 🙈❤️ Next time your mind goes blank, just breathe, use one of these, and watch the convo flow! #SocialSkills #ConversationStarters #AwkwardSilence #Education
