Exactly. Being natural and open to conversation is the way to go. Not just the simple default responses. They'll get to even connect better that way.
Yeap. I am new to Hive though, but I am being mentored. When he said engage not just reply something I gave it more thought and I try to put a part of me out there when sending a reply.
I totally agree. 💯
It isnt that difficult. Just let things flow naturally. Simply dive in and just start talking like you would at a gathering, party, or bar.
Simply talk, ask questions, shares items of interest. If you see something interesting, comment on it.
Exactly.
I could be sometimes socially anxious at a gathering, but when I talk to myself and make myself calm down, I would realise it isn't bad and I will actually enjoy it sometimes.
It spills over to how I communicate on the internet as well. But I am giving it a conscious effort to work towards having a nice conversation while staying calm.
