Depends on my mood. But I can be very chatty. My biggest problem is that I'll go on a tangent and fail to remember the actual main thrust of my point without contemplation. If only I could go on tangents AND keep true to the course AND remember everything, I would be awesome.

Depends how small. I can walk past a person, bring up a topic, deal with it and leave within seconds.

No, because it doesn't get me or the other person anywhere.
Same reason why i can't go to school or study: there is always a bunch of information completely irrelevant to my goals. I can't store that kind of information.

Usually, yeah, but not recently, seeing as I was extremely tired the last two chats I had.

Really? I find small talk is just as pointless no matter who with. I guess I don't do small talk with people I like, if that's what you mean?

Not really. Sometimes I talk a lot, but most of the time, I don't make an effort to keep a conversation going.

Not really unless if it's a friend and we just start rambling on about random things. Small talk over the phone or with someone I don't know that well always has awkward silence within about 20 seconds. >_>

Is there really a point to anything we are talking about in this thread? Most of OT consists of small talk. :lol:

Well if I don't like the person then I'd just be like: "Yeah" to everything they say. If it's with someone I like I usually skip the small talk anyway though. I prefer to have in-depth conversations.

Some people it's easy enough to talk about random things. Mainly because these are the people who laugh and also talk about random things.

It depends. Sometimes I talk like crazy, but there are times I'm just out of things to say.

Yes, because I often go into extended riffs about random subjects.

I have been sitting here for about five minutes thinking it over. I have come up with this. I am HORRIBLE at small talk. Like extremely horrible. Just so horrible.

I really don't know what is wrong with me. Or at least, where I should begin..:? The only time I am actually any good is with completely random crap, with someone I am really comfortable with.

Depends on the person. With some people I can keep it up for a while before I run out of things to say but some people are just a blank piece of paper and everything I say just gets crumpled up.

What? Of course you can store it. We will never be able to fill up our brain.

Nope. It just always feels so forced and unnatural.

I hate small talk, I always feel awkward, because it's usually with someone I barely know. I'm not really good at it, but I'm not terrible either.

When I have to do small talk without objective, I just put on a bored tone of voice and and speak in a really tired way. I also talk about things that aren't interesting at all. There's a certain way I talk to friends that is very different from how I talk to non-friends.
