Well heres the thing I know theres something Im missing in life as it seems that I dont really enjoy conversations with by far most others.

Im not a fan of small talk at all unless theres an instant 'spark' which is very rare. Why do I generally dislike small talk? Its meaningless nature is usually as boring as anything and possibly the worst thing of them all is that some people draw wrong conclusions and start thinking that I actually enjoy listening to them discuss literally nothing.

'The spark' that rarely comes is something that I cant describe but it usually starts when the other person says something thats "in my opinion" is worth giving a thought, in that case my brain reacts by continuation of his/her thought while expecting the talker to counter it with something thats again thought provoking. This is rare to me and its mostly that what I find interesting.

Many others seem to enjoy long meaningless conversations about things that appear to be obvious and not worth the time/effort to discuss them at all. In fact it may even seem that the majority of us humans get stuck in these 'details'.

Heres an example: (Im a European but I will use an international example). Lets imagine the leader of some country. Many, but luckily not everyone are either pro or against him or het and love discussing "the decisions" that this hypothetical leader makes. Yet I see by far most of these decisions as 'details', since they are usually very obvious. What does interest me is why is it that some people are so strongly pro or against the leader of their country and especially what kind of a void this love or hate fills in their psyche since they are so passionate and emotional about that guy.

Another problem or inconvenience in comms is that MANY people think that Im projecting my desires on things, events etc while Im only pointing out what I see. Basic example: a while ago I wrote on that in my eyes the very powerful American military serves different purposes including maintaining the dollar as world's most trusted currency.
This is only an opinion that obviously can be debated, yet many assumed that by giving this opinion in a neutral way means that I support the idea of the US army killing people and called me a murderer and more. While all I said was what I think I see which is not related to how I would like to see the world.
And this happens a lot as well. "Oh he says something then it means he is supporting it".

There are literally 3 persons I like talking to (a lot) and one of them is my dentist who I rarely see at all. Is this how many others experience the reality as well?
