RE: Do better than "small talk"!
Cool post! I probably more cynical but feel that people just don't give a f-ck. Small talk is just to avoid awkward silence in public places. Simply filling the time until they can meet up with their friends -- and laugh about the weirdo they were forced to talk about the weather with in line at Chipotle.
Yes, exactly.
I hate it especially when people don't use small talk to just break the silence, but when they use it to actually socialize and to try and meet new people. It seems like they don't even try to talk about something better, they just talk about whatever they can, because maybe the other person will enjoy it.
I don't know I think some people just don't know how to talk to others any more, or they just don't have any other subject they could talk about.
