Be mindful of timing when initiating conversations from "summary" of How to Talk to Anyone by Leil Lowndes

Timing is everything when it comes to starting a conversation. You have to be aware of the situation and the person you are approaching. If you try to strike up a conversation at the wrong time, you risk coming across as intrusive or insensitive. Consider the context before you make your move. Is the person busy or preoccupied? Are they in a good mood or a bad mood? These are all factors that can impact the success of your interaction. It's important to be observant and pick up on cues that indicate whether or not it's a good time to engage in conversation. Look for signs of openness and receptivity before you dive in. Being mindful of timing shows that you respect the other person's boundaries and are considerate of their feelings. It demonstrates your social intelligence and ability to connect with others in a meaningful way. By waiting for the right moment to start a conversation, you increase the chances of having a positive and engaging interaction. So, next time you find yourself wanting to talk to someone, take a moment to assess the situation and choose your timing wisely.
