Do people on your job only seem to want to engage in a silly conversation? For saying stuff...

Sometimes, during lunch break. People seem to feel that they have to talk about something when they're together, or they'll feel awkward. I've been eating alone most days lately, which has been kind of a relief.

I can relate to this. I tend to not have much, if anything, to add to those conversations. They're just noise, with no purpose other than to avoid awkward silences.

It's everywhere! I walk my dog every day. An old man sits in his garage waiting for me to walk by. He calls me up to come talk to him and even bought my dog treats (this ensuring she will drag me up the driveway). He's got nothing say other than "It's hot". So boring, I considered not walking by but that wouldn't be fair to me.

Possibly you are introverted and they are extroverts. I always had similar issues my whole life long.

I know exactly what you mean my co workers are the same 😂 but since we all like bunch of brothers n sisters in work we don’t care and just comment randomly on other co workers convo’s , it’s crazy 😆

There is more talking in my job than I would like because I'm often busy, but at least it's usually insightful or interesting. I work with very clever, older people.
