Small Talk

I am not a person for many words, but when I am in company the thing that irritates me the most is when someone who has no topic of conversation tries me with their 'small talk'. I can see the weather - you don't have to give me a full breakdown of what the weather app has already done! Some people should just sit quietly in a conversation, their silence would have a greater impact. Do you know what I mean? By the way - its a beautiful Winters day in my city - it might just rain! Its great to be writing my own small talk - forgive me!

the picture is a very nice place to relax. small talk doesn't bother me, it's okay with me if the other person starts with a small talk.

Some people should be not heard when they make small talk.

that's kind of an impossibility - it seems they are always the loudest.

Small talks don't annoy me. What really annoys me is when someone comments about my quietness.

It's not easy for some of us to deal with other people's silence.

@SophieY There are people that feel they have to say something so carry on a conversation.
