RE: Prompt of the day “Small Talk” - New Age Philosopher
Interesting post! This one really got me thinking, and I can't quite come to a decision regarding how I feel about small talk. There seems to be a time and a place for it, but I can't quite decide when that is! lol. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Thanks I appreciate it and glad you didn’t find it offensive or anything 🤙
The one exception I know to be true for myself is if I am trying to reach out to someone struggling. If they seem as if they just need an ear I often get a sense to try make any personal connection with them even just through small talk. I am not searching for a blanket response either, I truly want to hear the nitty gritty so I can express my sympathy with examples of how I can relate and cope. It’s all about reminding them that they are not alone and I find because I typically avoid the small talk my interest has a greater impact.
