In last days I realized I hate #SmallTalk even more than I thought. It's like they ask you random questions about you - and expect standard "normie mainstream" answers. But well... I am grim grumpy loner, who is absolutely uninterested in most things most people care about or actively boycotts them, and I often have opposite priorities and different value system. I just cannot provide them answers they would like.
So they often double down and press, telling me how I am wrong, mansplaining my own life/future/goals to me, because I certainly "will/should change" and judge my lifestyle. I am too lazy, too invested in wrong things in wrong way, too bitter, cold or emotionally detached. Or they feel invited to ask series of more personal questions than I'd feel comfortable to answer, leaving me emotionally exhausted.
Just. Leave. Me. Alone.
