I feel like a major part of social interaction before anyone even opens their mouth is:
Comfort.
Just being comfortable in who you are (at least close to it or try to be)
On the flip side, accept the other person and give them a non judgmental free space for themselves.
That alone, enables you both to just say whatever without any pressure to say the “right thing” or “be a certain way” and it makes it so much easier to just talk to.

Yes true
People hide behind a screen so much that they don’t know how to be comfortable with their selfs or be ok enough with having someone else in the room for them to be comfortable at all social media has ruined us all
It kinda differs. For example, if you’re just purely scared of saying anything wrong then just be yourself, but if being yourself makes any normal person hate you then it’s better to fake. Another example, you don’t tell someone to be themselves and reveal themselves about their fetish for feet, they’re being themselves but they are disturbing other people.
