I just like keeping it real. I genuinely don't care about your day and I won't pretend like I do in order to fill the "awkward" silence. If I'm interested enough to talk to you, then it isn't small talk

If you care about someone, then you care what happened to them.

Then it isn't small talk if I care about someone

So asking how some ones day went isn't small talk then?

I think your definition of small talk doesn't line up with how people use it.
