LESSON 2 · Small Talk Mastery

Pairs and Trios

Pairs can be intimate, so enter lightly. Trios and larger groups sometimes have a loose edge where a newcomer can join without interrupting the whole circle. Watch feet, shoulders, and pauses before you enter.

Solo individuals near common areas can be easier to approach because you are not interrupting an existing thread. A simple "Mind if I join you?" is low-risk, and a graceful no still lets both people move on comfortably.
