      one of the top ten most influential-of-me essays I've read--I can't find it now, it was something like 'On Being Polite'--discusses this at lengthhttps://twitter.com/tszzl/status/1416861867331313665 …

      the essayist explains a party game he and another aggressively polite person would play you go to a party and try to go as long as you can without talking about yourself every time you talk about you, you get a point winner at the end of the night has the fewest points

      "what do you do" is sort of a party turd in the punch bowl because it's a stale cliched question and because mostly talking about work at a party is tiresome. there are so many more interesting things one can elicit from people

          Maybe I need context to understand people? It explains a lot about how a person spends their time, and can be useful figuring their perspective I also like knowing where a person grew up and some insight into wealth/upbringing I hate small talk..

          I read the essay. I don't got the patience with people for the long-game politeness - without sufficient info I won't remember them I could stand to build my skill in near term friction reduction (yk, be less clunky)https://medium.com/s/story/how-to-be-polite-9bf1e69e888c …

          Some people enjoy talking about their job. I do! But it can make it feel like a forced interaction, and I feel like I always come across like Robert Webb in this sketchhttps://youtu.be/1W34wyKZlWQ

          I try other questions a lot but “what do you spend your time doing” is a pretty solid opener for me. Interested to hear better suggestions
