Someone once pointed out to me that what I consider small talk might be someone else's important.
Sure it might seem like gossip or chat about the weather just for the sake of talking but it can equally be someone trying to say that they are lonely and need reassurance.
I think about that a lot and I've become a lot more tolerant. Besides, you can segue into some pretty big chat from such humble starts.
Ha, jokes on them! I haven't been in a relationship in about a decade and I don't see that ever changing so I don't need small talk!
...wait. Who's the joke on?
:P
Yeah, that's pretty much how it looks like for me
You need small talk to find the big talk.
This poor individual has never been in a lasting relationship.
If you can’t talk, in full, with your partner such that you somehow need small talk, that’s not a relationship, it’s a one night stand that happens to last for 3 months to a year.
Actually I have this kind of conversations. I don't care so much about monkey problems
How do people who don't like the color chartreuse expect to color things? Chartreuse is my favorite color!
Personally I think that small talk is also regional. Some places small talk might be discouraged at a store while other places it might be encouraged. The same might be for the subway, a restaurant, the bathroom, etc, depending on the country or culture it may be totally ok or exceptionally discouraged.
That's exactly how my wife and I do things.
