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.
I really fucking hope there isn't a place on earth where smalltalk on public transit is encouraged.
The weird shit in my head is not suitable for public utterance. I can give you engaging statements or appropriate statements, but one statement that is both requires far more effort.
Small talk with strangers, acquaintances, neighbors is draining even when I like those people. Those closest to me do not require appropriate statements, so with them it never feels like small talk.
I'm in this picture and my SO doesn't like it.
That's exactly how my wife and I do things.
Absofuckinglutely. This is what I do, and what she does, though our methods of exploration vary.
Yeah, that's pretty much how it looks like for me
Plan...?
I love small talk. It's just noises that communicate emotion or very basic information, and it has a script!
