Chazzle McJarles :
What if small talk is boring and repetitive and a shield from my deeper self getting to play with your deeper self? I like talking about you and me too. Just not the weather…AGAIN. Can we drop the script and have some fun? Explore? Adventure? Expand? Get curious? Play?

Mine was just that I found out I was autistic. But this also checks my boxes. So things are great 😅

Krysti Adams :
I figured it was because I’m neurodivergent and small talk feels empty. Tell me about your favorite music or the last time you went down a rabbit hole of research. If it’s something I didn’t know, I’ll be blown away and it will probably lead me down my own rabbit hole of research.

To me small talk is just a waste of time. Its conveying information neither the talker or listener cares about.

Small talk is too much of a neurotypical societal expectation for me to care about it. Give me something interesting to interact with and not mundane social cues that feels disingenuous and empty most of the time

Susie :
Yeah you’re right. I hate it. Why am I so VISCERALLY resistant to any criticism of my parents though? Like even if I internally think of a criticism that criticizes them as a parent, there’s an immediate pushback from somewhere deep in my brain telling me I’m ungratefu- yeah nevermind, I see it now. 😑

Parents remember. You can’t turn your child into your therapist. Your problems shouldn’t be theirs.
