not to be an extrovert but small talk exchanges are the greatest form of communication that exist precisely and exactly because they’re meaningless. Their only purpose is to say ‘hey we’re both here and we’re signalling friendliness and goodwill’
“hi, you seem nice and I want to talk to you because apparently I go a bit odd when I don’t speak to a real person for weeks, but I also really don’t want to tell you about my deep-seated anxiety about existing on the mortal plane and having to eat and sleep and experience time in a linear fashion. that just feels more like a second date kind of conversation, yeah? but hey, how about that weather! you see the recent sports game? this sure is a day of the week!”
