    Yeah, I suck at small talk so any person I don’t know or that I do not share any interest with is someone I actively avoid talking to.

      Must be nice feeling good about not actually solving any problems.

      Talking often helps people understand their feelings. Validation from others helps people feel that their problems are legitimate, solvable, and worth addressing.

      Talking may not immediately solve the underlying issue, but it’s a step on the way.
