I usually get stuck after “hi, how are you?” and then the silence feels endless. After listening, I practiced a few of the techniques with a neighbor, and the chat flowed much smoother. It’s not overwhelming or complicated, it gave me just enough confidence to try again and not overthink. Felt like real progress for me.
