In an Uber craving silence yet the left brain wants to engage in small talk?
It’s a sign of immaturity.

For 30 years I engaged people in small talk because:
1) I felt awkward not to speak to the other person,
2) I felt the other person is feeling awkward
3) I felt it was impolite not to speak to the other person
4) I felt the need to be the person to make the other person feel comfortable
5) I subconsciously felt the need to be liked?
6) maybe there are more reasons maybe those are it

But when not too long ago I passed my mid 40s I had an “ahh” moment - I am a fully grown, mature adult male, an immigrant, a husband of 20years, a father of four, a business owner of 20 years from zero to a seven figure annual revenue, experienced more than the generations behind me and equal or more than the two still living generations in front of me - no more immature feelings nor feelings of immaturity.
