How to win friends and inspire convo
Breaking the ice, one shirt at a time. Can catchy phrases spark conversations?
So, I struggle with starting conversations with people. I'm someone who tends to shy away from that experience. But I realized that many others feel the same way.
It can be tough to strike up conversations with strangers, whether you're waiting for a bus, in a mall, or just standing alone feeling bored and lonely, craving connection (like the two of us in the image above).
I believe having a tool to help people connect with each other could be a game-changer. Virtual connections online are great, but in the real world, meeting people face-to-face is important. That's why I thought about creating something to make that process easier—something that could change human interaction forever, one stranger at a time.
I thought, what's the easiest way to get two strangers talking? What would make me start a conversation with someone on the street? That's when I came up with the idea of shirts with catchy, funny, or interesting words written on them. Wearing these shirts could be a conversation starter.
When one person compliments or comments on the shirt the other person is wearing, it could spark a conversation and give them a common ground to start from.
Who knows? From there, people could become friends, couples, or even business collaborators. There are endless possibilities for good things to come out of simply connecting people together.
Let your shirt do the talking!
Would you rock this shirt? Would you make a compliment if someone rocks this shirt?

Omg I can be awkward starting conversations in public too!
I think I would smile if I saw the shirt. Maybe because it’s so relatable. And if we happen to make eye contact in the process, we might strike a conversation. It all depends cos we humans can be weird sometimes sha. Introverts especially😂 we tend to overthink and have conversations in our head a lot and this could happen. Or I might just be too engrossed in a book to notice. But cool concept!
Hahaha that t shirt is hilarious 😆
