@@rainzerdesu I think Gen 1 feels more unified than Gen 2.

[@赤ゲキ]

Fun fact: Did you know, regardless of whether we are introverts, extroverts or so, Japanese do not like small talks? I only just discovered it so I quote: Most Japanese people are not used to talking casually to strangers on the street or the train, so you’re not expected to engage in small talk that often to begin with.

[@mrgopnik5964]

As an introvert, I saw that they don’t have that much trouble starting conversation, as much as continuing it. What works best in this scenario is when you don’t understand enough about a topic, you transition to a vaguely related story to change the topic. Example: “I like baking” “Oh, you like baking? Cool, you know, my grandmother is actually an incredible baker, in fact back during 1975 in Soviet Russia…”

[@iqbalindaryono8984]

That strategy only works if the second party can/is willing to answer open ended questions. In this case, it ended up being "I like baking" "cool" "..." "..." *deafening awkward silence intensifies*. This brings back memories I wish to forget.

[@Landfall364]

​@@iqbalindaryono8984 Sometimes you simply don't have anything to contribute either. More often than not, even if it's something you're interested in, you might not really have a story about it. Or if you do, it's just too awkward to suddenly start blurting out some unsolicited story.

[@gonoki888]

I don't think they have problem talking with each other if it's naturally. Being both introvert/shy and then told to have a conversation with random topic out of nowhere, would be hard for introvert.

[@bradstrife2211]

@@iqbalindaryono8984 Oh man open ended questions/topics are the worst, it feels like you lose the ability to find any responses to give when the topic is too open. "Tell me about yourself" is the worst thing you can ask of a lot of introverts because all knowledge of themselves just goes out the window.

[@iqbalindaryono8984]

@@Landfall364 True, this strategy is often used by introverts or the shy to avoid talking by leading the other party to talk about themselves. Worst part is when they felt bad about not giving you a chance to talk so they throw the question back at you and now you're forced to talk but you only heard about it from someone else and now you've contributed nothing to the conversation and oh god why did they stop talking I've got nothing to say, please go away. I forgot if this is a memory or my catastrophizing butt creating a fictional event that somehow feels as real if not worse than an actual conversation.
