Talking to others doesn’t have to be so stressful. With these 9 skills by your side, you can make conversations a breeze. Just saying ‘hi’ is never enough, and keeping others interested in you while trying to keep the conversation afloat can easily become nightmarish.

American author Will Durant claimed that, "we are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit." I like to think that this applies to love, too.
