  It might make them uncomfortable. If you don’t make polite small talk, they won’t know if you’re a safe person to be around. Did you not know that?

    Whether someone makes polite small talk seems like a weird way of judging people’s trustworthiness, although, people will reveal stuff about themselves in conversations. But the things that reveal trustworthiness are more likely to be mentioned in serious conversation than in small talk.

      that’s correct! good job! and small talk is the polite predecessor to serious conversation. that’s why it’s important :)
