the concept of small talk is something
that has always bewildered me. intuition
tells me that it is the inability to face
the silence that pushes some to all these
futile exchanges that are meant to resemble
conversation. but although the motivation
behind this baffling behaviour remains
a mystery that i would very much like
to solve someday, for now i remain courteously
indifferent. only, i wonder why do people
avoid me?
