This is so much more real for me than anyone wants to admit.
But I recently learned that small talk isn't about the content of the conversation. It's just performative friendliness so people can establish limited trust in uncomfortable situations.

Very little trust.
It also makes striking up a conversation with anyone a lot easier. It's a very useful skill for navigating among the other humans when I, normally a hermit, go out in the world.
