Whenever you find yourself in a situation like, for example, sitting in a waiting room or riding in a car/bus with strangers, do you make small talk or do you prefer to remain silent? Personally, I prefer to remain silent. I'm rather socially awkward, and it's hard for me to talk with strangers for the most part. I don't have a problem with engaging in small talk though, as long as it's someone else that starts it. What about the rest of you?
