  • The key to understanding is finishing the sentence.

    “I hate small talk… with people I have no reason to talk to and don’t care about.

    I love my partner, and even when it’s small talk I can listen all day, just to hear their voice and learn a little more about them, to feel closer to the person I married in many small ways.

    But I don’t care about what Jim at the laundry mat did last weekend, or which machine he thinks makes socks dry faster.




















  • If your local library isn’t too far, you could go there. Most public library’s have events or clubs they host, ours has it all on a corkboard near the door so people can see what’s coming up. If you pick one, you know what the other people in it are interested in (for the hours they’re at the club or event anyway) and you can use that as a starting point. If one club or event doesn’t work for you, try a different one next time, you’ll most likely meet a whole new bunch of people with a different topic of interest.
