Overview
Today, in a social or professional group setting, you should just play along with everyone else -- sure, it might be boring to play those games that people play, but it is a lot easier than trying to re-invent the wheel. The road map to conversation is there, so why not follow it? You can still display your charm within the framework of small talk or biz-speak. You don't have to thrill the room with long tales of your latest adventure. Try not to stand out too much.
