Nah, I don’t mind small talk. Small talk is fine. It’s easy, you just smile a bit, and say hi and make a joke about whatever the other guy said.
It’s the mid-size talk I can’t deal with. The kind of talk where the other person is just giving you clichés of normie chatter about politics you disagree with or car culture or reality shows and you’re supposed to just… keep providing valid responses and appear interested. I don’t see what’s small about that and it’s excruciating.
Nah, that’s great because you can so easily escalate to heavy talk. Disagree with the political opinion. Insist car culture is just pointless fashion fads. Dive into the morality of reality TV.
Either they disengage and you’re free, or you get to have an actual meaningful debate instead of echoing hollow platitudes.
While I definitely agree with this and encourage it, most often this happens at work. I got shit to do, I don’t have the time to debate politics with a random customer. Sometimes I’d love to, and some rare times I actually get to have a good long conversation with someone like that, but 99% of the time I really want you to just shut up so I can keep it moving. No matter how much I want to tell someone that Game of Thrones was a genuinely good show for 80% of its runtime, or that Joe Biden isn’t the literal devil.
People are always really surprised whenever I give a presentation or something. I can actually be quite eloquent. I just choose not to be, most of the time.
I’m the same way. It’s funny seeing people’s reactions when I “turn it on”
Haha you just were be eloquent
“They pick 2 people…” only as a backup in case one of them dies
Two people? No I’m greedy, I need three so we have enough for boardgames.
That’s what Sven in the basement is for. I assume his name is Sven. Might ask him sometime.
I feel so represented right now lol
Fucking seriously. I literally have 2 good friends and I don’t go looking to add more because conversation is exhausting.
I have two modes of talking: complaining and explaining something. Sometimes those are both the same lol

Holy shit this is perfect and beautiful. Cheers
90% of my voice messages to my partner are literally that. The other 10% is about cats I happen to come across.
Likewise.
I just enjoy being alone a lot. Not lonely; alone. I love being alone, or at the very least left alone. Makes me feel relaxed and peaceful. I barely have enough to give one person, let alone a whole bunch of them.
Precisely my feeling reading that.
I honestly don’t think there’s any binary introvert/extrovert trait, and that lots of people combine different traits of introversion and extroversion.
It’s just a stupid stereotype some idiot created and people bought into.
I can get behind it as a broad way of classifying personalities, but when people treat it as a whole package deal of different traits it just feels like horoscopes to me.
We’re like cats.
By this definition I’d be closer to an introvert, but compared to my wife I’m extrovert as fuck. Would definitely say there is no hard rule.
Sounds like you’re just an introvert to me, that’s pretty typical of introverts from what I’ve seen.
It’s a spectrum for sure
