    You really don’t understand this hooman communication thing, do you?

    So let me try to parse this; Your interactions with others is on a purely transactional basis?

      Not OP but mine are, anything wrong with it? Communication aims at information exchange, if you wanna say hey just say hey, we don’t need to waste away doing empty, false gestures at each other. You want to learn something I know? Happy to help! Vice versa? I hope you also don’t mind.

      Wanna waste air with saying empty words, devoid of any actual meaning? You’d get the most appropriate version of “Yeah” and a stare urging you to get to the point.

        Communication aims at information exchange,

        Metadata is data. Skipping small talk is exchanging less information.

      Can we not belittle each other, it’s such a conversation ender.

      I do think there are people who are going to be purely transactional, myself included. I don’t know why, maybe it’s rooted in insecurity, maybe it’s lack of attention span from perpetually being online that’s rewired our simulation receptors that don’t get anything from trying to discover connections.
