I am totally a person who can't stand awkward silences. I end up saying some really weird stuff just to fill the gaps in conversations. This is something that I am constantly working on. One thing that has helped me become a better conversationalist is learning to ask questions! It is brilliantly simple. People love to talk about themselves, and it is a topic we can all relate to. A single question can lead to an entire conversation. Plus it helps you get to know someone!
