Journal Chacham's Journal: Verbiage: The four parts of small talk. 2

Just saw this in "The Introvert Advantage". Even though misnamed and misguided, the book has some interesting points.

One i just saw is that "small talk" consists of four parts. Openers, sustainers, transitioners, and closers. Never thought of it that way. Perhaps that will make it easier.

Perhaps it will make it easier for whom? Do you have a problem with making small talk?
