Sounds like you should make it your objective to turn first conversations in a direction you find to be important enough to discuss. Of course the other person(s) may find that odd and decide to find a different person to talk to. But that is the beauty of it. By being more informative you give people the opportunity to sort themselves out of your life .. leaving room for those who are a better fit.

Well, except for poop, all your threads seem to pursue ideas of interest to you. I think that's a great quality.
Hahaha!!! Yeah, but poop is like, scandalous talk. Not small talk.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
