*Goes into break room to get some water*
Person from Accounting: How's it going, Veggeta X?
Me: Awesome now that it's Friday. How about you?
Person from Accounting: Me too. It's been a long week
Me: LOL I hear that! *sips water and walks back to my office*

Man, life is fucking great.

I find it to be a waste of time at this point in my lifethough, tbh, thats probably largely because Ive, once again, entered a state of mania and regained my messianic complex.

Small talk is boring. So to spice things up I always reply with mildly inappropriate answers.

How are you today?
Wish I was dead

What are you going to do this weekend?
stay in my room and cry

Youd think that this would make people less likely to bug you with these questions, but nope. >_

Guys, you gotta lose the "I hate everyone. Leave me alone" mentality. I honestly believe it's a toxic trait.

Nah its great.

Regular communication is filled with so much bullshit and insincerity. Being openly miserable and depressed feels liberating. And for some reason people love it.

Gosh Im just gonna rope.

I wish that were the case, but its not.

Ive given up any hope of integrating into normal, functioning social spheres literally go out of my way to be unlikable. despite my best efforts I always end up getting popular.

I once told the regional manager just kill me now and bury me in the store, with a glass floor so everyone can look at my miserable corpse

he cracked up. I dont know why.

But on a more serious note, the point of small talk is to show that you're friendly, sociable and most importantly, you're approachable which means even more things in a work environment. Small talk can be a big part of having soft skills.

Small talk isn't supposed to have any ill intentions. It's supposed to mean you're friendly, sociable and approachable even if the conversation may come off meaningless. I dunno what kind of small talks you guys been experiencing but not everyone is out to get you. Sheesh, being pessimistic and cynical isn't great traits, guys.

Why do people react so weirdly when you give unexpected answers to small talk questions?

Co-worker: Hey there, what's going on?
Me: Well my big toe is hurting like hell right now. :/ What about you?
Co-worker: Umm...
Me: What? I'm just answering your question truthfully. Would you like me to lie and say everything is alright? Hmm??
Co-worker: ...

Really? If you were to tell me your toe is hurting then I'd ask what happened, and then you'd explain and then I'd wish you feel better or if it's too painful then I'd suggest you talk to your boss to let you go home. Do people seriously always act like weirdos to you guys?
