Whenever I get lunch with a group of coworkers, this is what everyone talks about and it’s absolutely exhausting. One issue is that I’m 24, craving new, novel social interaction, while most of them are in their late 20s or in their 30s, settled down, and fully in the Netflix trap. The only benefit to seeing this is that it makes me want to never become like it. The most genuine conversations I have are with actual friends: People I’d hit up on the weekend to walk in a park, drive somewhere for a hike, or grab dinner with. I also have a circle of friends that I go out with, which I understand not everyone is interested in. Get out of the house as much as possible, and embrace the relationships that you genuinely enjoy. Small talk about Netflix will still be a thing with people you’re not close with, but you can help steer the conversation to be more interesting if you know the things that you do/don’t want to talk about.
