Do you hate small talk?

[Bards]

I HATE IT

haTE HATE HATE

I'm indifferent.

I love small talk!

small talk is useful because my children will pick your pocket while I distract you.

Its okay.

another inevitable evil of this world, human.

[fondue]

I'm really bad at small talk. I almost always accidentally shut down the other person because I'll say something and expect them to understand the reference or it's controversial and I expect them to be able to debate back. They don't, and it makes me seem like I got no chill (I don't.) I avoid elevators and bars with people that are in suits and dress shirts for this reason.

[Bards]

Lol xD I totally understand.

[coconutelixir]

I almost always like small talk... it creates a lighter, more friendly, more pleasant atmosphere around you in this chaotic harsh world. It's nice to even momentarily connect with a stranger in an elevator ride. Only time when it sorta bugs me is if I'm in a serious rush or am in a bad mood. I try to stay polite though. Thumbs up for small talk!

[Bards]

Good point!

I picked E but really it's my cats.

[BellePepper]

How else will I support my cat habit?

[ElissaDido]

I hate it. Specially when someone asks me what I'm doing 5 times a day 😡

[Bards]

Yeah -_-

[YusiBear]

Small talk is the foundation we build our relationships on! If the relationship is built with on weak foundations the building that is the relationship will sink to the bottom of the ocean.

Also we must remember to Hail @Bards the lord supreme conjunction!
- tell me when this gets annoying!

[Bards]

Loloo ik but its bleh when I think about it

[AleDeEurope]

YES!! OMG, I hate it. I just wanna get over it as soon as possible, but some people just don't know how to have a conversation so you're stuck with small talk.
I end up just moving on from those people xD

[Bards]

WHY can't WE JUST BE TOTALLY COMFORTABLE WITH EACH OTHER AND KNOW ENOUGH INFO ABOUT EACH OTHERS INTERESTS TO HAVE A FUN EASY GOING CONVERSATION WITH A COMFORTABLE AND SATISFYING ENDING.

Its not that hard. But its best to move on. 😞

[DeenaGupro]

hahaahaha... cos when you meet strangers, it's about "what's the true source of morality?" cool, diude.

[Tdieseler]

FUCKIN hate it... I hate repeat questions that have the same effing answer...
"How are you?" "how was your day" "how are you doing"
The answer is always the FUCKIN same..."FINE!!!"
lol... i always tell people that i'd rather not be contacted, than to be contacted with similar questions... get to the effing point or stfu.

[allahu_snackbar]

It's okay, sometimes you engage in it and people surprise you. If they don't it was only small talk and you can get back to the broadsheet.

[Bards]

Broadsheet?

[allahu_snackbar]

mmm, yeeess. Broadsheet- a newspaper with a large format, regarded as more serious and less sensationalist than tabloids. ahaha

[Bards]

Ohh xD

Shit, I feel dozy thinking about that.

[PropaneAccessories]

MY CHILDREN WILL PICK YOUR WHOLE HOUSE
NOT JUST YOUR POCKETS
THEY ARE THEORETICALLY EVIL

[Bards]

NOOO DAMNIT BOBBY

[PropaneAccessories]

It was Clarisa's idea!
After I told her that it was a good idea!

Aw jeez Spongebob is following me. Why must every 11 minutes of my life be filled with misery?

[Bards]

Don't worry Squidward. We can be fabulous together 😄

[Squidward]

*starts to cry*

[Bards]

Lol at least it was with pure intentions

[9mfeo]

Honestly I would rather get into a political flame war than make small talk.

[Bards]

Lol.

[Octavius]

"I'm bullshiting, you're bullshiting we are all bullshiting."

I destroyed the small talk. Let the awkward silence begin...

[Bards]

No not happening.

[CocoRachelle]

I'm indifferent. I type a lot online, but I don't talk much in person. I am okay with silences, but if someone feels the needs to make small talk to fill the void, I'm not bothered by it.

[ThisDudeHere]

Eh I'm fine with it. I like it if it's about a subject that I'm actually interested in but if they start talking about fucking British food them I'm out.

[DarkHumorRUs]

"So... do you like weather?"
-Schmidt, 22 Jump Street

Yeah, I'm fine with small talk as long as I like the person I'm talking to. I am also fine with silence.

[mooky06]

It's good and bad. There will be days I'm cool with it other times where I don't really want to small talk and wish the person would just shut the fuck up.

[Prof_Don]

For everyday people you meet for the first time ,

small talk based on the setting is more effective in starting conversations and meeting with people,

than talking about macro topics.

[Prof_Don]

But the hypothetical questions that are overly cliche is just irritating!

[fenixx0083]

*i'll* pick your pocket while you're looking right at me, but close enough...

[Bards]

Lmfao.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

i hate it if i have to carry it. i'm not good at asking questions or giving open answers. but if the person says something that i can work with, game on :)

[Blobb]

It's soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo repetitive

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Worst thing ever.

I love to talk about everything that comes to my mind.

[Hollywood-Glam]

I'm okay with them but I do hate when they get awkward and the person never gets in an actual conversation with me.

[RainbowFanGirl]

Yeah! I mean we usually end up talking about something random, and then those people never talk to me again or act like they don't know me. 😩

[jacquesvol]

I don't hate it, I can listen to it but I'm bad at initiating it.

[Shyguy_1988]

I don't mind it, allows you to meet new people sometimes.
