    Just because you’re bad at smalltalk doesn’t mean you’re entitled to mine.

        Why is being bad at smalltalk being selfish? You mistake skill for intent, and that’s pathetic social skill. You shouldn’t be giving anyone advice.

            On the contrary, being so entitled that you think you deserve other peoples’ initiation is selfish. You might have the impulse to spout to other people, but a lot of people don’t, and they just do their job. Why isn’t the other coworker rude for not making small talk for 2 weeks? Why isn’t it that the other coworker is only making “small talk” to (insulting) someone else to make themselves feel better?
