How to really talk to people.

I'm ok with small talk... It's really all I need for my job. People don't want to get into deep conversation with FOH staff... (That's the barrista's job!)

I find it incredibly difficult to have meaningful conversations with people. At least in person. Give me a laptop and plenty of time to carve out a decent answer and I'm golden.

I suppose it just takes practice. But it's something I desperately want to learn!

In what does the difficulty represent itself? Is it that you can't open up to people? Is it that you find others seemingly incapable of having any meaningful conversation?
