Hey, guys, what's up it's me again and again same old story about why I am inactive for a week it's because of the busyness of my work but still thankful I am healthy and alive despite the hardship that I've been through.

And so for my today article, I am going to write about some topics that we need not mention when we meet new friends to avoid making them uncomfortable making people uncomfortable in the first meeting isn't a nice thing to do.

1. Politics

Why we must avoid Politic topics when we meet new friends and I guess not only new meet people even to our family it's because we all have different points of view, not everyone has a political view and as for me, I am not knowledgeable about politics.

2. Religion

Just like politics also avoid talking to our new meet people about religion it's because this topic is subjective and sensitive, some people find it a personal matter that doesn't like to open up to anyone.

I would give an example of my experience here in the middle east we know that majority of Arab people are Muslims and my employer is Muslim too. The first thing that they are going to ask when I come here is that my religion although they respect my religion those who are old people here don't like people who are not Muslim, they are trying to explain to you their religion so that we can be with them that's one reason why I am wearing a head jab it's because my madam's uncle was the one telling that I must wear it. That is why every time her uncle visit here I feel uncomfortable for he must tell something about how their religion going. This is only based on my experience.

3. personal finances

Personal finances I feel that this is something I like to keep private and that we should keep it to ourselves and not be shared.

4. Personal appearance

Nowadays personal appearance matters in the way we advertised who we are and what we stand and it's something personal that we must avoid talking to.

5. Offensive jokes

Words matter and have consequences sometimes for us we are just joking but for others, it isn't a joke for them sometimes it is offensive so we must be careful with the words that were going to tell.

Closing words

There are still a lot more topics that we must avoid when we meet new friends but I only focus on these five topics which are politics, religion, personal finances, personal appearance, and offensive jokes. Talking to new meet people is hard compared with talking to our old set of friends and I find it challenging because we revealed certain facts about ourselves or the one we talk could be impressed or turned off but the most important is we should be true to ourselves and hope that we get into the real conversation.

To my sponsors who stay on my block thank you so much, guys.

Thank you for reading!
