Is this a normal thing, to want to share your day with someone regularly? I’ve never felt the urge to do this, even on notable days. Wondering if anyone can explain their reasoning.

    I also don’t really do it. I get that it’s a social ritual though. The listener demonstrates their interest in the speaker by caring or pretending to care about the minutiae of their day.

    I’ve always been inclined toward the maxim, ‘Small minds talk about people. Average minds talk about events. Great minds talk about ideas.’ However, it’s hard to go from nothing to deep insight, so starting with an event can be a great step into tbe conversation.

      Ehhhhh. That’s a self reassuring kind of statement . Most people, include morons, talk about ideas, reassuring themselves that they’re good ideas
