i’ve warmed up significantly towards the concept of small talk ever since i learned that its sole purpose is to make friendly noises.
as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, “i’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now.”
small talk isn’t to get to know a person. it’s just a greeting to affirm you’re buddies in the universe.
i am motivated by wanting the other person to know i am friendly, so i have gotten pretty decent at small talk when i used to hate it.
growing up people will tell you that you need to eat vegetables and drink water and sleep 8 hours a night. and you might think "ugh, thats lame." and then you hit your 20s and your body feels Bad and you realise you need to eat vegetables and drink water and sleep 8 hours a night. and maybe youll have kids one day, and you'll tell your kids they need to eat vegetables and drink water and sleep 8 hours a night. and they might think "ugh, thats lame." and you realise the cycle continues, and has likely been continuing for generations. and i think thats beautiful.
