I realize I can just say “wanna go for a chat?” to people

I know it’s so basic, but some months ago, I had a confidence boost since I had an argument with my one friend at my school, I’m not hated but I’m definitely not very popular amongst my other classmates

There was no school for a week due to a festival which is big around my hometown and I decided to just chat some random classmates and schoolmates, my school isn’t very big so I know alot of my schoolmates, I’m not socially inept, but I have trouble finding conversation topics with people, especially since my friend I had an argument with is a very naturally social person

Anyway, I decided to go around my contacts and friends list chatting random people, some were chill, others awkward as hell, until I chatted a friend who is very chill and laid back, I said hello and she said “you need anything or do you just want to chat?” confused a bit, but I said I was just going for a chat

And we had a nice little discussion over rock music and guitars

And that realization hit me like a truck, I don’t have to be some platonic rizz God who’d sweet talk his way into any convo, but nah that ain’t me since I’m still figuring this socializing thing out, I can just say “wanna go for a chat?” and this is quite good so I can talk with them and they’d also have the mindset of asking questions and getting to know each other

Quite nice
