Topics you can’t talk too much about, and some you can.

Always mentioning a movie you just saw: COOL. Always mentioning that you’re on a cleanse: VERY UNCOOL.

Every person has a number of go-to topics that they knowingly (or unknowingly) bring up in conversation. The weather. A movie they just watched. Something interesting they read online. These topics are evergreen, and they can’t really be talked into the ground. They’re easy to relate to, and for the most part, it’s totally cool to keep bringing them up.

But, there are a number of topics that if mentioned too much, end up making you sound like a broken record. So if you find yourself always bringing up your boring job or awful boss, STOP. No one is enjoying that (especially your awful boss.) If you’ve walked on the moon, however, talk away. That’s never going to get old.
