    So… if you don’t live your life automatically assuming that every stranger is a threat, you don’t waste time and effort with small talk.

      You really don’t understand this hooman communication thing, do you?

      So let me try to parse this; Your interactions with others is on a purely transactional basis?

        My attention and time are not something others should feel entitled to have.

      I think the total opposite, people who value small talk assume every stranger is someone to value and attempt to connect with, whereas people who frown at or avoid small talk are often the ones assuming some pretty negative things about others

          I mean, this is a total generalization. I’m ADHD AF and I love small talk. I’m very earnestly never “testing” people, either.
