As I see it, there's no information to be gained from small talk. The definition of small talk: "polite conversation about unimportant or uncontroversial matters". It's almost debatable if communication is even happening when talking small. Maybe it's just because I'm me, but I don't see it as a necessary stepping stone at all.

Me personally, I don't think I could tolerate the family life. I know media constantly portrays it as bliss but I've realized it's not for everyone. Media and stories love to tell us that we'd all be happier as a duet, that people are meant to be together. In my eyes, love is two people becoming one, and dying as one. And when that days happens, it. is. agony. It's a self-transformation that I'm just not interested in.
