Good job Celeste😃. By the way I just wanted to say I always love listening what you have to say. Also I love watching your videos on Mondays, because it get my creativity flowing for the week so, Thank You!
for me, i hate the small talk that comes up just because the person feels awkward in the silence, but they don't want to actually get to know you, so they just ask you some generic shallow question. but yes, small talk can definitely be great.
i'm not exactly an introvert (I used to be really shy when I was younger) but I'm not exactly an extrovert...so i'm kinda in between. i'm a real quiet person that likes to observe things. when it comes to small talk, I do agree that it helps you to get to know someone a little better sometimes....but from my experience I have found that small talks sometimes don't really help you to get to know someone...it really depends on what you guys are talking about. and sometimes small talk can be awkward when you and the other person are trying to find stuff to talk about to avoid being quiet.
No matter your age (do I really have to notificate this..), you're a very smart, no a very genuine mix of both of the introvert and extravert worlds. Excuse my english (french here) if you got wrong what i wanted to express. In any ways, my aim is to compliment with the most honesty can.
Haha, a nuanced view, I respect that. But uh, yeah, I'm not going to lie, I do tend to prefer to talk about life -- not for any particular reason, just that it's much more interesting to me, and I want things to be interesting :) And I genuinely do wish people had more respect for deeper discussions -- people often insist that you have to talk about some specific activity you did during the day, when I feel like a lot of times that doesn't really define my day -- how I was thinking during that day might define the day more sometimes. But of course, I qualify all of this by just saying, that's my preference. Forcing everything to be significant can be artificial too, I get that, and I think all of us, myself included, like some variety sometimes, in what we talk about -- but I still have a strong preference in favor of not too much small talk. I do get your point, that we shouldn't assume small talk is some evil thing -- it's not. And it can lead to connections and so on. I guess I would just say that, I suppose I'm weird enough that I think talking about deep things actually could be a good way to connect with a stranger -- what I mean is that, if a stranger suddenly started talking about something philosophical to me, I would like that quite a bit actually -- even though most people wouldn't :) And I guess I still find small talk kind of artificial, talking about something silly as an "excuse" to talk to someone. Still, of course, I get that artificial things can lead to very good things, but sometimes I think there are better ways than small talk to form connections, even if most of society doesn't agree. But yeah, looking at the big picture, you can definitely make the case that small talk can just be more symbolic of wanting to form a connection, something like that. Although I wouldn't go as far to say that people "have a responsibility" to get into small talk -- I kind of feel like just because the majority of society likes small talk, shouldn't mean that those who don't like it should have to conform to it -- majority doesn't equal better. I could just as easily say that the people who judge those who don't do small talk should look into the other ways in which people prefer to make connections. But again, you're taking a balanced approach, and I respect that. Certainly those who like small talk have their reasons -- they might say it lightens up life a little bit, not everything has to make us sad or make us think, etc. I certainly don't want to come across as judgmental of other preferences. And I do want to say I actually really enjoyed this video -- honestly, take this obnoxiously long post as a compliment. It definitely makes me think of the pros of small talk, and gives insight into the perspectives of people who want to do it. There are some interesting ideas here and it definitely makes me think.
