What Conversation You Should Not Bring Up With These Zodiac Signs
Don't make a mistake bringing up these inappropriate topics during a conversation.
pexels I remember being at this networking event and I kept making small talk with this person. I didn't know what to say.
Then, I realized how everyone has that one taboo conversation topic that they prefer not discussing with friends, families or even their therapist. So, when you're trying to break the ice and discover where you may have common ground with another person, knowing what topic to avoid is key.
Getting to know someone in the 21st century is really difficult. you never know if a topic can be total hit or miss. For example, a person may love to talk about zodiac signs, planetary transits and astrology, while some may not.
They may prefer to never hear what their horoscope says and if you tell them you share similarities in personality traits because you are both of the same Sun sign, they silently shut down and tune you out.
You can learn how to avoid things you like to talk about are absolute topics that the person doesn't want to talk on at all. You don't have to go through that whole awkward “I don't know what to say next and neither do you.” Then there's that awkward silence where no one says anything for a good five seconds and you wonder is this the make-or-break. Small talk sucks for anyone.
But what if we can remedy all that? What if we can look to the stars to tell us what topics to avoid for each zodiac sign? Read further if you want to know what topics to avoid as per someone's astrological identity.
