People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
The weird shit in my head is not suitable for public utterance. I can give you engaging statements or appropriate statements, but one statement that is both requires far more effort.
Small talk with strangers, acquaintances, neighbors is draining even when I like those people. Those closest to me do not require appropriate statements, so with them it never feels like small talk.
Honestly, I always engage in small talk. You can hate it but I see you on a regular basis and I'm always attempting to make a connection, one day we will connect.
Personally I think that small talk is also regional. Some places small talk might be discouraged at a store while other places it might be encouraged. The same might be for the subway, a restaurant, the bathroom, etc, depending on the country or culture it may be totally ok or exceptionally discouraged.
I really fucking hope there isn't a place on earth where smalltalk on public transit is encouraged.
That's exactly how my wife and I do things.
Absofuckinglutely. This is what I do, and what she does, though our methods of exploration vary.
Plan...?
Yeah, that's pretty much how it looks like for me
