What Topic Not To Talk About, By Zodiac Sign

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.

What's worse about having an awkward conversation is not having any at all. But, I think as people we want to make these human connections. We just don't know how. At work, taboo topics are even more prevalent, and this complicates learning what not to say, and what never to explore when opening up about ideas or discussing during a debate.
