Like for example, people who’ll ask how you are like 5 times in a conversation or make it about the weather. Things you know will last 2 minutes at best.

I’m asking for examples and answers. Not a stupid debate, here. Why are we complicating this?

    100% agree. “Boring” intros like the weather are just a way of getting some words going back and forth with a universally uncontroversial topic. And sometimes just commiserating or bantering about something low stakes is nice when getting to know someone brand new.

    I can even tolerate topics I don’t care about, as long as the other person is able to share their knowledge and passion in a way that makes you feel “talked to” instead of “talked at”.

    People who just seem to want a passive receptacle for their blathering are the most boring conversations IMO.
