Talking to new people can be intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. Ask follow-up questions to keep the conversation going. If you're feeling nervous, take a few deep breaths and remind yourself that everyone is just as nervous as you. Don't be afraid to share a bit about yourself, but don't dominate the conversation. Remember that everyone has something to offer and you can learn a lot from talking to new people. Ask them questions about themselves and their interests. Start by introducing yourself and asking them their name. Show genuine interest in what they have to say and listen carefully. Be sure to smile and make eye contact....
