Conversation

Do you think it’s okay to steal a joke, funny thing, or just an idea someone had or said and use it in another conversation?

I feel like for me, as someone who has grew up and made the transition from being an overthinking anti social person to introverted and is now in the process of trying to become more extroverted, I always felt like it was a bad thing to do and felt guilty when someone laughed at my stolen joke or found my stolen conversation starter interesting. Feels Like I was being unoriginal or unauthentic.

But I do feel like it helped me on my journey of building conversational skills. Since I used to overthink everything I’d often not have much to talk about until I observed other peoples conversations and kinda just took from them.
