I don’t like these “what’s the deal with / I hate small talk and ‘How are you?’” posts. Like, what do you think?
Yes, a lot of people hate small talk, I get it. But how else would you start talking when you meet people? Warming up a bit with small talk and a greeting is the best way of getting a feeling for one another. Even if you know them it’s good for checking their mood.

Well yeah, you don’t like it. That’s ok. But your experience is not the only valid one in the world.
What do you mean “how else?” - I can come up with several different ways without even really thinking about it.
What do you mean, “it’s the best way”? - best for what or whom? Best for you maybe. But not necessarily for others.
Move to the topic. Don’t waste time on fake pleasantries. Shit’s fake as shit, to the point there is standarised response.
If I know you, don’t hit me with it. If I don’t know you, I don’t want to answer…
