A
Small talk has a reputatin fr being uninteresting, and fr gd reasn.Pinting ut the fact that it's raining seems as ridiculus as pinting ut the fact that yu have a head — yu're fully aware f bth things, and dn't require an utsider t cnfirm them.But despite being evident and ften painfully dull, small talk has an imprtant rle t fulfil, enabling us t leap ver a number f scial bstacles twards imprved, meaningful interactin.
Humans can be sensitive suls.We each have ur bundaries and lists f ptential upsets, which when brken, cause us t either gently back away t an alternative psitin in the rm, r becme crss at the persn.Small talk is first a way t test the waters with an unfamiliar persn, s that yu may better understand their persnality.When finding yurself psitined clsely t a persn wh yu knw little abut, it's much safer t pint ut the rainy sky than t share yur plitical views n a sensitive tpic.Until yu knw the persn better, heavier tpics shuld prbably be kept under wraps, s yu wn't find yurself n the receiving end f a cld stare.
Thugh insignificant, small talk still has great pwer.When talking with fellw humans, much f ur sul is expsed thrugh nn­verbal cmmunicatin.A respnse t “hw was yur weekend” can unveil much abut the persn's character.The length f their respnse might indicate their level f self­cnfidence; the tne f speaking might shw hw agreeable a persn is; their slightly lwered head, as if prtecting themselves frm attack, a pssible sign f a regrettable histry f bullying.
As mre f a persn's character is revealed, we have the insight needed t determine whether t brach mre significant tpics — the things that we actually want t talk abut.Cnversatin is a great educatr, and deep cnversatin establishes lasting bnds with ur fellw humans, frming precius friendships that paint ur lives with vibrant clrs.Such friendships begin with small talk.
