Or at least, the willingness on everyone's part to be more conscience of small talk :)<br /><br />I always love posts that make you think - ty!Dianehttp://frufrugal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5758417646215192432.post-33538900289014318642013-10-12T09:06:57.478+11:002013-10-12T09:06:57.478+11:00Hey Diane!
Yeah, it is really difficult sometimes ...Hey Diane!<br />Yeah, it is really difficult sometimes to have meaningful conversations all the time; I just genuinely want to know how a person is doing behind the "good" response, you know? But you do make a good point on a reason to use small talk; I've never thought of it that way. Thank you for your insight!

Great point, glad you posted this!
I...Hey Kriselle! Great point, glad you posted this!<br />I can understand what you're saying about small talk. It's a challenge to engage in it and have meaningful conversations every time.<br /><br />During the holidays with family, I always feel like it's a great time to have those in-depth convos (some by choice, some by necessity, lol). Outside of that, it's the routine and sadly our conversations with family and friends fall into the routine greetings.<br />I do think one of the benefits of small talk is gauging the other person's frame of mine and whether they have the mental time to chat. It's like a warm into into a deeper conversation. Is the other person too busy or not in the mood? That's what I use small talk for. <br />Dianehttp://frufrugal.comnoreply@blogger.com
