Over sharing is the best way to get someone to talk, whether it’s about their personal experience or not. Pointing something out about them that you’ve noticed & complimenting it leaves a good impression which opens more opportunities to talk <3

Look at them and notice something that they actively chose today. Easy ones are like clothes, bags, jewlery, makeup or whatever. But you’d probably have even better luck with like if they’re holding a shopping bag or a book or a cup of coffee or the keychain on their keys. idk those are just the examples I thought of. But basically that’s something intentional, so that’s something they will have thoughts/feelings/opinions on. Ask a question or make a comment that requires them to reveal that. Like a question you would want someone in your life to ask you about something that you put energy towards, yk? Like for me I always want to talk to people about books I’ve read or that theyve read. Or when Im holding a food or drink I probably could talk about why I wanted that.
But the most important part dude. Is to gauge reaction after that. If they wanna talk more then yay. If not, you gotta let it go don’t push. It’s a them thing, not a you thing.

I just start talking to people like we’re already friends 🤷♀️ i often forget to exchange names because of this lol. You can never go wrong with a compliment. Also a fan of “tell me your life story” because I actually want to know and also a lot of people like talking about themselves.
