People think that "i hate small talk" must mean "i want big talk" because they cannot comprehend the idea of just shutting tf up

These thoughts rattling around in my head and this breath in my lungs would be wasted forever unless I combine them and thrust it upon your unwilling ears

—the entire world for some reason

Sorry, I'm quieter when I take my Ritalin!

Not always true and a little besides the point. I went through a period where my friend circle ONLY made small talk. Hang out for a couple hours at a bar, 90% no talking and when we did it was either to insult each other or talk about our beers.

It became exhausting. Unsurprisingly we went our separate ways and never contacted each other again.
