to me, the art of small talk is being able to converse for at least 15 mins with a hatred person and yet seem interested in what he has to say. in other words, to be civil. to be a master to master the art of small talk, sprinkle your conversations with laughter appropriately.
easy? i won't know. haven had any luck of befriending a person whom i wont fancy. but just imagine, if the circumstances permits, would you walk away? or would you put in an effort to entertain? i'd entertain. because its simply rude to be a bitch!
as the people around us master the art of small talk, true friendship diminishes. a friend of mine would probably say, 'then dun talk loh. im comfortable with the silence.' but in this insane world, if you don't talk, people might think you're a stuck-up with something up your ass... and then you'll have no friends (real or fake), or you might miss that huge pay increase... so you see the dilemma.
as yet, i've not master the art of small talk, not because i'm dumb or bimbotic like how some idiots think i am, but because i'm too lazy to layan.
