Re: Non-fandom Secrets
The key is to try not to linger over things for too long. Let conversations change, sometimes listening and sometimes talking. Asking questions here and there are a great icebreaker and takes the pressure off you. Ask how the weekend was, try and remember something in their life to ask about.
For example, on Mondays I always ask all my coworkers how their weekend was. One I will specifically ask about her cats, the other his rennovations, the other what sports he did, another how her newborn is going. They all usually ask me about my dog or my house. If I don't feel like talking about either I'll just shrug with an "yeah it was alright, hey did you read X in the news/new book/ask about work"
It takes practice anon, but I promise you. There is no strict normal. It's a VERY wide definition and you're probably falling into the scale of normal somewhere, most of the time.
Mostly, practice makes perfect as you get better at recognising when you're being rude or pushy or ignoring someone's boundaries. Apologise and move on. You can do it :)
