It has been brought to my attention that, apparently, I begin almost all conversations with the word 'so.'

Um...is this a problem??

I think I do this because it's like I am continuing a previous conversation (even if there wasn't one). It seems to make things more personal to me.

I often have a hard time starting conversations...I don't know how to bring something up that I want to say or ask without sounding like a dork. So, I figure by adding the 'so,' it's kind of like easing into things. You know, give people a warning that I am about to speak. That way they can run, or plug their ears or something like that.

Who knows. I don't.
