One time I was talking about this with my friends. I said I believe it exists and they all laughed and said "particles have rules, you're made of particles." ๐ฅบ
Yeah, I agree. I'm more social than I was ~10 years ago but that's because I've found good people to surround myself with. Back then I would've said I hate small talk. I didn't hate small talk, I hated the people I was talking with.
I agree. I think they're looking at this wrong or maybe just picked a poor example of what they're trying to explain. Talking about hobbies and things that excite you isn't a red flag at all.
I think you're viewing this wrong. If my friend is a foodie and really excited about their new mustard I'd want to hear them be excited about it and know why they like it.
If you went outside and the weather was pleasant you'd never mention it to your wife? Never say anything like "have you been outside? It's so nice today!"
You're not alone. I think people might be projecting their own reasons for liking/disliking smalltalk into this tweet.
There's likely at least a small correlation between people who dislike small talk and being at least somewhat socially inept.
(This doesn't mean I'm saying everyone who dislikes small talk is socially inept. That's not how correlations work.)
That is definitely not how most people use that word lol, message boards are one of the oldest forms of social media around.
I mean, isn't that how communication works? "Has the heat outside affected you?" It doesn't matter what I consider hot and they consider hot, I'm asking if the heat affects them. "If the heat outside is hot enough that it has bothered you, has it affected you negatively?" It's a mouthful.
No, it may have been called "The Spirit" I think. It was a black and white comic movie, but it had some color. Like the tie was red I think. Idk. Very long ago and forgettable.
You can get a floor of an estimate if people don't remove stuff that phones home.
The twink with the grip ๐ณ
