    Because talking = socializing, and socializing is a core concept in the human brain which evolved with the need for a community to live in, which is easier to do when you socialize with its members. So for our society socializing = good. Not socializing = bad.

    And it suuucks ass.

      Hey how’s it going? No, don’t actually tell me how it’s going.

      Boy… the weather sure is outside! Being alone with my thoughts scares me, so I will make dealing with me your new unpaid job.

        What’d you do this weekend? If it takes more than two sentences to describe it to me I’ll stop caring and just talk about myself. I’m not here to learn about you, just drown out the incessant ticking of my own mortality.

          I wish people would give me more than two sentences. I kinda need more than two sentences to start opening up, and once I do, I will not stop talking until I’m tired. My brain will never run out of things to ramble about, so feel free to be like, “hey, can we move onto another subject?” if you’ve lost interest.
