So you want the nicest way a person can start talking? There are more than one in my mind now but I can mention the three most popular like Ask for information, Pay a compliment or Praise that person.
If I feel like I don't belong somewhere I'd leave immediately cause simply if you stay you would fail and if you go away you succeed. So why I'd stay in a place kinda like a jail if I really able to move anywhere I want and breaking up my limits through the top and being effective.
