To hold a conversation a little longer and not cut it short like I usually do to escape any awkwardness. I usually always run away from any interactions with people and try to move on with what I’m doing but I would like to enjoy these moments and not just run away from them. So my goal is to let the conversations run smoothly without trying to run away as quickly as I can.
