    Game apps not showing you the time or battery on your phone is the equivalent of casinos not having windows or clocks.

    When people do a good deed, then run to social media to share that they just did a good deed, I don't know why, but that really irks me.

    I know right, whenever I do a good deed, I do it for the sake of doing a good deed, not so I can go on social media and boast about how good I am 🤷🏽‍♂️...

    I mean, I've done loads of goods deeds this week that I haven't bragged about 😏...

    Well not really 😂, but if I had I wouldn't be going on and on about it 🤷🏽‍♂️😂

    Thinking about small talk and how people say they lack the skill of small talk. I wonder if it's that perhaps sometimes they just don't care to engage with others that much?

    Small talk might seem unnecessary but it's a building block of forming rapport with someone. So if you don't care to form that rapport then you'd be annoyed by small talking with them. I get that.

    I guess since I am a social person, this seems foreign to me, not knowing how to small talk, or not wanting to.
    I always feel in a better mood when I've had a lovely exchange with someone on the elevator or at the store, etc.
    Don't misread me, some have been absolutely awkward, but at least I tried. Not everyone welcomes it.

    It also just occurred to me that maybe I don't mind small talk because it changes people's assumptions about me. If they were to not talk to me, they might assume I'm *insert adjective here* when I'm not. This has happened a lot as evidenced by people who have told me their initial thoughts about me once we got to know each other.

    Sometimes I think too much.

    I go back and forth on this. On one had I think it is good because it we need to see more good things in the world. On the other hand I think a lot of people abuse it just like other aspects of social media.

    I agree with this.
