I try to decide for myself that these small exchanges are part of a sense of community, of seeing each other as safe, and having neutral social interactions.
Forcing myself to have neutral exchanges I think builds a sense of safety, because it extends the area between positive and negative… so I don’t have to avoid everything non-positive for fear of it being negative, you know?
Though sometimes my head is not in a good place and it’s more difficult to find the positives in stuff and be annoyed by annoyances.
(Feel free to put my unwarranted unloading as today’s second slight annoyance if you’d like)

God forbid I have to talk to other people in public.

If it’s not sarcasm: I feel that sentiment. With time, and intention to change my mindset, I’ve come to appreciate these little conversations. Ten years ago I’d rather fall off a cliff than talk about the weather, but now I see the value in it: even though it’s the most boring thing in the world, I enjoy the (surface level) connection.
If it’s sarcasm: Haha yeah right? (stop bullying me :( )

Definitely sarcasm.
