Nobody hates small talk. They hate meeting new people and the awkwardness and embarrassment of that situation. When you are comfortable with someone you don’t mind small talk or you’re comfortable enough with them to just exit the conversation because it’s boring.

I don't hate meeting new people. It is quite refreshing in fact. Some people are turds, but most aren't. Plus if you meet a stranger who is crap, you can just ask uncomfortable questions and/or mock them in subtle ways. Either they will go away or you will entertain yourself. Win/win.

I just don't like talking to people I don't know about nothing. It's not awkward or embarrassing. I just don't like it. I'm happy to be ignored 99% of the time.

Which is funny because I talk about nothing on here all the fucking time.
