Nothing bothers me more than small talk. “I have no system for understanding this messy person in front of me”. Hilarious. That pretty much nails my thought process when I meet someone new.
- wlesieutre 15y agoI think the biggest error is the insinuation that all nerds are computer nerds. While it fits me just fine, I know plenty of nerds of other varieties. Regarding small talk, I don't think it's a lack of a system of understanding so much as a side effect of the relevancy filter. All that stuff people are saying to me? It frequently sounds like "Nice weather outside blah blah blah blah." Small talk about something I find interesting is another matter entirely.
