more interested question is why do you need small talk at all?
This is ignoring the fact that there are people who actually enjoy exchanging pleasantries. Make a list with 2 columns: 1) people that enjoy small talk 2) people that dislike small talk. Act accordingly.
Some people are worth talking to, others are not.
I enjoy talking to people about things that aren’t sports, celebrities, or the latest popular show to binge
Not clear on how this is distinct from simply having a fun conversation.
The other interactions like talking about your weekend aren't exacty something to comment on.Also why it is a problem ?
It's not about what you want it's about what others may like to hear from you. And if you're doing something all day long and you can't talk about it, what do you talk about? you'll be like a foreign object to others
Your description above is very similar to how I would describe things, yet I have no problem with small talk.
Heard of that! How is your experience with the conversations? What are the common topics you talk about?
maybe because some of us are not comfortable with small talk ;-)
