Small Talk. I *like* it when I have to talk to some bigass idiot, because I don't have to waste any effort to find a deeper topic or so; but I dislike it if a person is interesting and this is all they can do. I will always try to balance them and make them go deeper, but some people are just not made for it (and not to feed any stereotypes here, but I must say that a LOT of them were Ss or some self-absorbed INFPs. But that is just something I noticed; a trend. Not a rule. And neither does that mean that I will stay away from those people).
Small Talk. IDK, sometimes I think it would be better if it did not exist. Small Talk kinda translates to "I am just talking to you out of niceness or because I have to be polite". I'd rather just not talk to a person than having Small Talk. I am big on directness and honesty, and Small Talk is kind of "Fake Talk" most of the time.
I think if I ever randomly start to do *Fake Talk* with somebody who I had a great discussion going before; I must either be very tired, totally annoyed or highly fascinated; so much that I get dreamy. Normally I get myself out of that state again though (or I try to). If it is too bad I either go to sleep (tired); tell the person that they make me dreamy or - when annoyed - I just tell it to their face. Continuing the *Fake Talk* would highly upset me and go against everything I believe in.
Anyways. My 2 cents. |
