Of course, small talk is more than just small talk.
It’s connection sampling.
Depending on your POV, it’s a moment to decipher if there’s something in it for you or something there you can give. It’s prodding to see if there is any overlap in eachothers’ narratives.
It feels uncomfortable for anyone, but the moment a connection made, the talk doesn’t feel small any longer.
