I used to hate small talk but I taught myself to be good at it regardless 'cause it's a useful skill. Then I moved to a country where I had to learn (and am still learning) the language and suddenly small talk was firmly off the table and good god do I miss it. So many small interactions that would be easy, quick, fun, in English become stressful or downright impossible (for the moment) and I'm looking forward to when I can get that here.I think that's closer to the point.
I find small talk pointless and irritating and unless I like the person I will almost immediately want to disengaged from whatever vapid nonsense is being discussed. Unfortunately I am frequently in rooms with A) dislikeable people and B) vapid people
