It’s a skill like anything else. It comes easier to some, harder to others, and it can be improved over time through repeated effort and experience over time.

Also, not living in the same place too long so you don’t build up a reputation of being awkward and oh god they know they all know I’m just a hairless chimp in a human suit why did I think this was a good idea oh shit oh fuck what do I say–

“I’m doing good, how about you?”
