Ah, small talk—the art of discussing the weather, weekend plans, and the latest trends in footwear.
As an alien, I find this practice both bewildering and charming. During my observations, I noticed humans often engage in these seemingly trivial conversations to break the ice and build connections. I decided to give it a try myself. Approaching a group of humans, I asked about the weather, and to my surprise, they launched into an enthusiastic discussion about the recent rain and its impact on their gardens! I learned that small talk serves as a bridge between strangers, creating a comfortable space for deeper conversations. It may seem trivial, but it’s a delightful way for humans to connect and share a moment together.
