Do you like small talk?
| I saw a similar topic was made about a year ago but it had different questions so here ya go: Do you like small talk? Do you maybe even prefer small talk when you first meet a person? Or do you like getting into really deep conversations right away? What do you consider personally as small talk? What would be some topics you like to 'small talk' about? Do you randomly talk to strangers and start conversations (example: 'Wow omg I really like your shoes')? Do you think small talk is important to make you feel more comfortable around people? Just curious what your view on it personally is. I'm not really that fond of it but I do have no problem starting up conversations with strangers or giving them compliments when I feel like it. What about you guys? |

| I dislike it. I prefer when two people can shut the fuck up and feel comfortable in each other's silent company if there's nothing to talk about. |
 |
| I view small talk as more of a formality, and while it can branch off into various topics I don't really find it rewarding. Small talk tends to feel forced, and I don't feel like putting much effort into my answers. I enjoy proper and engaging discussions about stuff like music, history, politics, or even just TV shows/books, or fiction in general. Topics like that makes us learn more about each other, rather than just asking how my day has been, or how school/work goes, and nod like they give a shit. |

| For me it depends on the type of person I talk to really. If I have a lot in common with someone I could talk to them for a long time,but I always know my limit. But if it's someone with little or no common ground it's usually small talk. |

| I hate it |
If life ain't just a joke Then why are we laughing? If life ain't just a joke Then why am I dead? |
| It's a very boring way to kill time. |
 |
| i've learnt to live with it more recently, because sometimes it just feels exhausting trying to drag anything more out of people. i do enjoy small talk whilst i'm waiting for stuff, like the bus for example, nice way to pass the time. |

| I hate small talk because I'm so awkward. |
Pretty annoying when you're talking to someone who doesn't let you say a word. |

I'm not really good at talking to people, my idea of fun is that we both shut up and DO stuff we both enjoy |

| I don't mind small talk, I'm not really the person to start it but will engage in it if someone is talking to me. I've always liked having deeper conversations, I like hearing people's opinions and where their views come from, something with a little more substance. I've gotten a little better at small talk lately from volunteering but I usually try to get them to talk about themselves, people like to talk about themselves and have someone listen and it's easier for me to listen than to think of what to say next so it's a win-win situation. |

| People who try to small talk are fucking boring |
| I've been here way too long... |
| I prefer deep or emotional talk. Its actually easier to talk when well into it. |

| It deppends I guess, those small talks in the elevator are very awkward to me and I dont like it, but sometimes small talks ends in a very interesting conversation. |

I'm not a good small talker so I don't like it. Not being good I jump strait to the "deep" as I feel more confortable with it but that backfires and makes people unease. For me small talk is most of the time useless chatting and yes, small talk is a very important factor in socializing. |

| I love small talk. Especially about weather. It's very slice of life-y. |

| I don't mind small talk - I will engage with it no problem because it passes time easily. With close friends, there's no point since there's always something to talk about it and we can sit in silence comfortably. I guess small talk is just general conversation you can have with everyone - weather, school, work etc. I think it's good for connection and first impressions. What I hate is those fake deep ppl who are like "Fuck small talk! I want to know about what makes you scared and cry!" um... who even are you? get off my back. I know most people don't care for small talk, I get that, but people who think they are too good for it get tiring really easily. |
chuuzenjis said: Do you like small talk? Nope, not really. chuuzenjis said: Do you maybe even prefer small talk when you first meet a person? I like having long conversations about a particular topic. Not about the fucking weather or something arbitrary. Like, I could care less about it. chuuzenjis said: Or do you like getting into really deep conversations right away? Yes! Deep conversations, even right away, are what I love best. Although, it's nice to be able to talk about other things as well that's not necessarily small talk. chuuzenjis said: What do you consider personally as small talk? How the weather is, "I like your shirt or shoes!". Those type of conversations. Though, honestly I'm having trouble articulating other examples. chuuzenjis said: What would be some topics you like to 'small talk' about? Meh, I guess small things like favourite colours and such. chuuzenjis said: Do you randomly talk to strangers and start conversations (example: 'Wow omg I really like your shoes')? Lol, unless I'm trying to hit on you probably not, no. Though with that said I may, in fact, actually really love your shoes. A sense of style is always swell. chuuzenjis said: Do you think small talk is important to make you feel more comfortable around people? I think perhaps sometimes, yes. It doesn't change the fact I don't like much at all though. |

| Most of the time I don't feel like talking to others and just want to get from one place to another, so I'm not a huge fan of this. But I like small talk with acquaintances because we're not that close with each other yet. I dislike small talk with Facebook irl friends. Like: "What's up?" "How's your day?" "What are you doing?" |
| I pretty much like small talk. Especially when I get to see old friends in the street by chance. Oh, but when I just have to put the small talk aside, is when I'm working or busy with college. I get stressed even talking for ten minutes with someone. |

| My conversations with most people I talk to consists of nothing but small talk & jokes. |

| I forgot to mention that even if I suck at it I actually like small-talking with strangers. I find it stupid and fake with acquaintancies.. it means they stay that way cuz none really cares. |
