Great read! Your not not alone in being awkward Matt. In Junior high I was the opposite of an introvert. I wasn’t the “main guy” but I seemed to make friends easy. As I progressed people I thought were friends left me so I started becoming an introvert. For me small talk helps people see I’m a regular dude. That makes me connect with people I don’t know well.

I’m still learning to like small talk LOL. I’m more of a big picture kind of guy. Tell me about your hopes, dreams, beliefs, fears…not the weather!
