I Love Meaningful Conversations

I enjoy talking to a variety of people. While I realize small talk can be necessary to build a foundation for a meaningful conversation, I always feel the urge to skip past that part of the conversation. I always want to rush into the more interesting topics, the deeper things. Were you ever bullied? Have you ever been a bully? Why do you react the way you do? What motivates you? What are your goals, your life ambitions?
I guess I just want to get to know people, not just skim along the surface of the person for hours as we go through the motions of small talk.
