I fear small talk!

I really do! I have no idea what to do when I have do small talk! The self help articles make sense, but its not for me! I can only talk sense, and not small!

Why don’t I like it? Well…

1. It doesn’t make any sense
2. Specially when you are talking to someone you know for a while, and all you two can do is small talk! I’d rather waste my time somewhere else
3. Its usually meaningless
4. It doesn’t tell me anything about the person I am talking to, or anything about me to the person I am trying to talk to
5. Its more like an obligation, than a connection
6. Not that every conversation needs to have a connection, but in my opinion there should be something less shallow in a conversation
7. I feel awkward in small talk
8. I don’t know when or how to finish small talk and move on
9. There is too much of silence when I practice small talk
10. I SUCK at small talk, but that’s obviously already very clear

and this also makes me realise that I love conversations.. Conversations that can talk hours, and days and weeks! and you can then pause, and begin where you left! and I am just thankful that I have friends who I can get into conversations with!
