Small Talk
« on: September 16, 2015, 05:00:03 AM »
"How's the weather where you live" "How 'bout that game last night" "You like that Big Mac burger?"
*two people in an elevator* "Man, these floor tiles are really interesting, right?
Excuse me whilst I immolate an orphanage in rage. (I'm kidding)

[/size]It is beyond me why people engage in small talk. If the purpose of communication is to transfer information, what purpose does small talk serve? Just refrain from speaking if nothing substantial is to be said. [size=78%]


[/size]So what do y'all think of small talk? I'm curious as to what responses I'll receive. No judgement, I want to know what other people think.[size=78%]

This is the price of freedom, friend.
If to our wills the world should bend
If our virtues are praised for one thousand years
Let too the sound of sins reach future ears

If you plan on talking, make sure your words are worthwhile. That is my opinion of the whole thing. I constantly ask questions as a result since I enjoy new information about people, although it may seem a bit... much... sometimes.

You can consider it as a filler. Most people dont like silence.

To me it's a waste of time. Say something useful or shut up.

It is a skill to be used!


Part of me learning how to communicate with others was to start seeing it as a game. You define your goal and then reach that goal using various strategies. Small talk being one of them.

To me, it's just a way to just enjoy the company of a friend without having to make it a big deal. It's a form of interaction that doesn't need a purpose aside from just chilling. Some people like interacting with others for the sake of their company, others just interact to get something out of them.
