breaking the akwardness


Question Posted Saturday March 22 2008, 12:53 pm

I volunteer at the hospital and there's a new person there wokring at the same time and place as me and same room. It's been pretty akward there since we never talked but i'm hoping that we could so it won't be so akward and lonely like in there? But what can i say? I might ask a quetion like "what school do you go to" but that mihgt be really random and then it'll be silent afterwards and maybe even more akward.

There's a good chance that the person you work with is shy. In this case, try opening up with a casual comment, maybe something about the weather or ask them what made them want to be a voulenteer. or, start out with why you wanted to be one, then ask them. The best thing you can do is try. Try walking up and introducing yourself, say you're shy and you didn't really know what to say and just see what happens, who knows, you could end up being good friends, but if you don't break the silence, you'll never know. If it doesn't work then try again the next day. what have you got to lose?

You can ask them what school they go to. I mean there is nothing wrong with being random. That person might notice that you are trying to be friendly. You can also ask if they volunteer other places or ask them about themselves. Like what interests them and what they like doing like hobbies, sports or something like that. So good luck and I hope it works out for you.

Ask them if they volunteer at any other places besides the hospital.

Ask them what interests they have, like if they play any sports, like any specific music or movies, .etc.

Ask them if they like volunteering there or what the best part about being a volunteer is.

It's alright to be random; it's not a crime. :)
