I said I didn't necessarily want to talk to them, as in I didn't walk into the grocery store to have a conversation with the cashier, I walked in to buy groceries. I've found engaging in a modicum of unimportant chitchat facilitates this process. I have no feelings positive or negative towards small talk, it's simply a tool for navigating society.

Speaking of unclear thoughts though, I have absolutely no clue what that derailed train crash of a first sentence is supposed to mean.
