One of my best social interactions happened at a friend’s gathering. I was feeling a bit shy at first, but as soon as I started chatting with someone who shared my passion for hiking, the conversation flowed effortlessly. We exchanged stories about our favorite trails and even made plans to go on a hike together. It felt great to connect with someone on a deeper level, and by the end of the night, I had made a new friend and felt more at ease in the group.
On the other hand, I've had an unfortunate experience that stands out as a bad social interaction. I was at a networking event, and while trying to engage with a group of people, I found myself interrupted repeatedly by one person who dominated the conversation. They dismissed my input and seemed uninterested in hearing anyone else’s thoughts. I left feeling frustrated and disheartened, wishing I had felt more included. It made me reflect on the importance of creating space for everyone in conversations.
