I’m a bit confused, mainly because I’ve never been told this before. I once was trying to talk to someone I met, and asked them questions about themselves to get to know them.
After a while, they just said, “You don’t have to do this, you know. I’m fine with being silent.”
How would you respond to this? I don’t really know the implications or anything.
The implication is that they’re not into small talk.
You can choose to continue the small talk and they will probably continue responding, but they are letting you know that they’re not really into it.
Thanks!!
