I started a new hobby, white water kayaking. Its tons of fun and ive met people of all ages. One thing i noticed is when an older person (like 10 years older than me (im 31) asks me where im from and what i do for work they look uncomfortable when i ask them the same thing after my reply (i dont have a weird job or live somewhere strange either 😅)....whats up with that? Isn't that how small talk works? It's like they don't expect me to ask them the same thing? when i don't inquire about their life i feel self centered but the conversation goes much smoother... #relationships source
