Yeah I get that but like. Theres literally no opportunities to socialize, the only time you message someone its gotta be about work.

ONE time he smoothly transitioned the work convo into video games and we talked about that for a while and it was real nice but I don't know how to do that again. Also he was really nice to me in the interview and somehow didn't trigger my social anxiety and im just trying to chase that high again

Its always nerve wracking to talk to someone new that youre not familiar with; your saving grace can literally only be the only subjects you touched upon. It wouldnt be weird to bring it up to someone something about video games as long as you recognize that they may not play the same ones.. so you start off about what kind of video games via hey, this may sound weird but what video games do you play? (pro-tip: its not going to sound weird, but at least you got the side of you bugging you thats weird out the way) or something of the sort.

Some people also try to make it weird, like if you had asked me I wouldnt care Id appreciate it and enjoy a good conversation on the subject of

It doesnt have to be a smooth transition, I know plenty of people who just interject and while thats not my style, I can appreciate that as well and segue into that instead since, you know, its video games >_>
