small talk is fake conversation
not being able to accept that you have nothing interesting to say

It’s letting the other person know that you consent to discussion and that you appreciate their company. People who don’t do this are lazy and selfish.

Laziness is my choice and a virtue in my profession and my preferred operational method…

Laziness is selfishness when your actions negatively affect other people. Selfishness is not a good person’s trait.

You don’t get to blame me for your reactions, only my (in)actions.
When no words accomplishes the task just as well, it’s not selfish to avoid small talk. The fact that you mind to rude or impolite is your problem, not mine.
