Awkward small talk with friends of friends.
Chatting with coworkers who you don’t see on a regular basis.
Trying to impress your surprisingly interesting date.
Actually, trying to impress *anyone*.
There are so many times in our lives where we’re called upon to either BS our way through a conversation topic, or risk coming across as the confused awkward-turtle humans that we are. Usually these conversations don’t matter! We can stumble our way through a lot of “whut” moments without it ever affecting our daily lives after all. But sometimes… just sometimes… you might need a conversation to end a little more successfully.
I’ve traveled a lot, worked in both corporate settings and startups, lived on three continents, and pretended to be totally competent in more crazy situations than I can count. That’s why I wanted to start this blog! If any of these random things I’ve learned can help even one person survive a single awkward conversation then it will feel like my own mega awkward moments were worth it.
If you have any of your own tips on how to BS your way through a topic or moment, please feel free to share! Let’s all work to survive in this bonkers landscape of adultness, together.
