small talk can be a good way to learn new things about people, even if you already know them. like "what have you been up to today". even if their response is super boring, like "cleaning, made dinner

I feel kinda crazy being one of the only autistic ppl in these comments that doesn’t really mind small talk. Like it’s obv not pleasant but it’s not agonizing??? It’s following a script?? It’s easy??

I've discovered the Allistic accepted version of "I didn't do anything this weekend" its called: "I just kinda hung around the house, so all in all it was pretty good!" Even if the 'pretty good' part1

i heard someone make the comparison of parallel play with nuerptypicals (cleaning, drs appointments, cooking ect. alongside someone's company) and small talk with nuerodivergents. most autistic ppl-(1

I think my most unpopular opinion is that I actually love small talk and I’m really good at it. I can turn a conversation from whatever tv show into sharing pivotal life moments relatively easily though

I ask people how their day is because I care about them and love hearing about their little lives. When people treat it like a chore or a script it crushes me.

Rat the Harvey Hater :
it's good to find a way to tell the truth while also keeping the conversation open, like instead of saying i did nothing i say "i was doing nothing other then watching youtube pretty much" or similar

small talk is not just an abritrary script! it's fishing for shared interests and possible conversation topics!

Not One Of Your Little Friends :
I have started to approach small talk as the time NTs need to calm near nervous systems down. if you're too honest too soon, they feel overstimulated

Small talk is an important cornerstone of our society. Maybe you don’t care ab the weather or their weekend but by engaging effectively you show you care about that persons presence in your life.
