I didn’t know what small talk was until I went to study abroad. Most of my foreign classmates often asked me things like ”how are you doing?” etc. and when I literally answered them what I had been up to recently they were very confused.
”Dude...no need to tell your life story, just say ’good’ and that’s it”
I replied ”Why do you ask a question if you don’t care about the answer?”

I learned the hard way, but learned still. :D
