Why Most Introverts Hate Small Talk

I hate small talk. It makes me anxious. It makes me awkward. It's boring. And yet.... it's required? I'm impolite if I don't ask the questions, if I don't respond, and if I don't fake it.

Watch the video to find out more reasons I don't like it. Let me know what you guys think of small talk. Do you have any funny stories or weird encounters with strangers you've met? I'd love to hear them.

i believe silence is underrated because you are protecting your energy from those who socially drains it and energy is everything

As an introvert, if we are being honest, we only hate small talk if we are not interested in the other person. But if it was someone we are interested in, it doesn't matter whether it's small talk, we will talk about anything.

I hate it when I try to break the small talk but the other person keeps it small

[ImplosiveCatt]

The "how are you" question is too personal to be frequently used as a mere habitual politeness. Especially when you don't feel good and that question may add fuel to the fire, reminding you of your misery.

I absolutely hate small talk and people who just can't keep their mouth closed. I don't care about how the weather is, what you've done for the weekend and how you're feeling. I don't like conversations that are forced, people that are forced to eat or group together because everything is just fake and ridiculous. Most of the time I just want to be alone - eat alone, watch a movie alone, wander on the streets alone. People who talk so much and about useless stuff just drain my energy.

[michaelshannon]

Forced and fake, boring and pointless - you just described most ppl, and most ppl small talk, because they are forced, fake, boring and pointless.

"I don't know when the conversation is going to end." Such an introvert thing to say. I feel your pain!🤣

As a fellow introvert, small talk is not genuine, energy and time waster, I don't know what to talk about and don't really like to talk. If I know you or feel a connection and we have common interests I could talk all day about the topic. As an introvert I feel I've always been observant, I want honesty, put energy where it's needed.
A friend I met many years ago is more introverted than I am, we met at a church activity in the summer and we both sat separately, eventually sat closer and her first words were "I like your calm energy, I like your vibes and you don't bother me" and from then on we were friends. We could get together and silence doesn't bother us, but we can enjoy each others company

It made me so happy and refreshed to hear your level of disgust and annoyance with smalltalk because YES

[klpigbighh]

im glad i dont need to mask anymore because i thought i need to be like all the other people now i only talk if i feel like it😂😂

What I hate about getting a phone call is I feel trapped trapped because I have to face questions and I hate questions and I hate that I have to pretend everything's all right when it's not. And people don't want to hear that it's not okay and that's why I hate the phone!

[MrMartellSincere]

I hate boring and dreadful meaningless conversations 😡

[JoeLalumiere]

I just watched your video for the first time and I also feel the same way about small talk, I absolutely have no patience for it. Great video, thanks for sharing. ❤

"It feels boring, pointless and useless..."
That's what she said.

[AmandaMuu]

You said about not knowing when it will end. I have said a silent prayer in my head that God will let it end before I start crying. I usually wear earbuds, because that's the unspoken "leave me alone" sign, and if people try to get my attention when I'm wearing them, I feel completely right to be rude. They are being rude first by trying to talk to a stranger with earbuds

[MajesticLawnGnome]

Anyone who hates small talk who lives in a city knows the awkward elevator rides 😂 don’t even ask me what floor I need to get to I will press the button myself

[melvonjohnson]

I'm a misanthrope and I hate small talk- If I'm not dealing with a person on a professional level, dating wise or if I haven't known you since childhood, then I'm just flat out going to ignore you. I've ignored so many people who tired do small talk- they got mad and start calling me names, but I didn't care because I know I had power over the situation.

[Yikkoofficial]

It feels like a huge waste of time. I rather invest time in MY day instead of hearing about other peoples problems.

[melvonjohnson]

The only time I say" Hi how are you doing " is when I'm asking questions in public places (stores, restaurants, schools, hospitals etc" Its pointless to say "Hello" when you're not going to engage in a full conversation.
