  Yeah I just say morning to everyone the first time I see them in the morning. That’s it, then when I’m eating my lunch they’ll sidle up and start talking and I’ll let them mostly guide the conversation while we eat, maybe I’ll even have something to add. Then when I’m some eating I have a natural out because I can just excuse myself to go back to working.

    You gotta initiate if you want a conversation. If you don’t, people think you don’t want to talk.

      Sure, and it also takes two to tango. Other people can initiate or just enjoy the companionable silence if they prefer.
