I’ve realized something about myself that bothers me a bit. I tend to Filter people like if their behavior or mindset doesn’t match what I expect, then I don’t really try to make friends with them. Because of that I struggle with casual conversations.
I’m naturally someone who prefers deep, meaningful talks. But when I try small talk it feels so Basic to me and later I even regret it like “why did I talk like that?” I also avoid long debates because they feel draining and ego-driven.
Has anyone else gone through similar situation like this? Is it just part of my personality Or is it something I should practice changing? And if you’ve been through it, how do you balance keeping meaningful connections while also being able to do casual & light conversations?.
