I don't mind having a conversation about stupid bullshit, I love those. But I do hate having a superficial conversation filled with lies and obfuscation about meaningless topics neither of us care about solely for the sake of filling the silence. It's a waste of energy and time.

Then bring your A game to every conversation. Most people are interesting, they just need steering towards their subject of interest.
