If you find that it helps you relax and makes it easier to talk, absolutely! If you're like me it's tough to do at first, but it gets easier every time you do it. You're making yourself vulnerable and putting yourself "out there," something that most people respect and find attractive. When I was in mid- to late grade school I could never have done this, but these days I do it more often than not. Every time I've done it, it's been beneficial to me in some way, shape, or form. Good luck!
