Some introverts dont realize that small talk will actually help them get to the bigger topics. You dont need to stay on small talk forever. However, sometimes introverts feel that even

33、 the short amount of time it takes to get into the real conversation is a waste of time. Small talk is very fast. Someone says something and thisshould be followed up with a quick response.
