Thanks for the insight … I’ve made a subtle change to my first comment to reflect what you said.
It was a poor choice of words and phrasing on my part … a lot of time I’m just off handedly commenting on things while doing something else and never think too much or too clearly about what I’m saying or commenting.
As an older man now … I do take time to gauge who I am talking to, especially young people, because I know social anxiety, being awkward and just being young makes it difficult for young people to do any kind of small talk. But I also do have to do it safely in a public setting where I can feel safe and the person I talk to can feel safe.
As you can see … small talk even in a public forum like this is a skill we have to learn.
If anything small talk is necessary because it teaches all how to live with one another.
