    Ok, not what I meant at all. Especially the part about making things up (why insert this?). I just meant that there’s no rule that small talk has to stay as such. You’re making it seem like I meant one should be an unhinged narcissist bragging about their life while ignoring everyone around them.

      If you have an interesting life then you can commandeer small talk and make it interesting. It’s an opportunity to introduce other material.

      Just reread it without the benefit of knowing your own intentions and think about how it sounds. (Also a great thing to do in conversation.)
