I don't count being polite in public small talk, I mean things like being at a party where you don't know anybody, work events, ceremonial events, those kinds of small, short hells.

It's really hard for me to meet people when it's like "what do you do" and I answer and they say "how is that" and I answer and then they ask where I'm from and then say it's rainy.
I don't think people hate small talk so much as they hate it when people are bad at small talk. A lot of awkward people will barrage you with questions and you don't even get the opportunity to ask them the question back because they just keep peppering you.

You're missing an opportunity to be irritating for your own entertainment. Don't let these go by!
