I used to struggle coming up with things to talk about with other people. I spent most of my time with my hands crossed listening to everyone else share what's on their mind.
In a search to be less boring and more interesting, I discovered learning is the key to having things to talk about.
When you learn new things everyday you are stocking up ammunition for conversations you'll have.
This allowed me to go from the awkward quiet guy just listening to the guy who always had interesting facts and knowledge to share with everyone.
