I don't like it one bit right now. I start off with the small talk, then when she tries to nice to a real topic I start shifting onto other people's crisises. (ie. My sister did....., my mom is....... , I'm worried about the ex.....)
This kind of helps me see way I never have anything to talk about. Like I know there's something in my head, and I either avoid it or don't think it's something to talk out loud about- because it's about me.
