Why do people get offended when I don't small talk with them?

[Haha456]

Out of a group or workplace etc, I would only feel comfortable talking to a certain few people. For example, if there were 30 people, I would only feel comfortable talking to about 5 people. Some of them who i dont want to small talk with, don't like it or feel offended when I don't feel like talking to them. Sure, I might smile at them when they look at me. Its not like I completely just ignore them. But why would they think they are entitled to me talking to them?

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Because trying to start a conversation with someone isn't easy and it's considered bad etiquette not to at least entertain the conversation long enough to at least respond wo what the person's saying. If they won't stop talking that's different but you don't want to make people feel bad. Especially if they think they're doing you a favor like trying to bring you into a social circle.

Talking with others and networking is very important and worthwhile

I’m the same way people think I’m stuck up because of it, and hate me for it aswell….. I actually quit a job because of it because the environment around me became toxic and people kept trying to sabotage me creating false rumors about me because they were butt hurt that I didn’t talk to them…. Some people drain the energy out of me there are only certain people out there that can charge me those are the people I keep around… I like fun upbeat child like people

[Shiface92]

When I say child like I mean people who are happy funny and kind not immature childish drama seekers there is a difference the drama seekers I avoid at all cost working at a job like StickerMule is the worst place to work it’s full of haters and drama seekers who gossip and bully other workers

30 people is a lot of people I mean if someone wants to go around Talking to 30 people in a day then thetws something Wrong with them. People aren't that Interesting for me to wanna Talk to everyone.
There must be something Wrong with them for getting offended over you Not wanting to talk to them.
They got a mental problem move on it's not your problem to Fix not like they would be willing to fix themselves anyways if you did try to help.

There is nothing wrong with you. Not everyone likes going around chatting to multiple people in a room, some feel just feel comfortable only chatting to the small number of people we know the best.

Don't go around making false conversation for the sake of it. If you feel a natural connection with someone, then talk.

[FilmGuy93]

Because they’re making an attempt to be friendly and you’re non-verbally telling them that you aren’t interested in interacting with them.

[sage2021]

WOW, you must be one of those radicalized feminists. Are you serious? What makes them feel they have to be entitled to talk to you? Oh, so people have to be entitled first. And how would they know this. That is very very weird!! You really put yourself on a high pedestool don't you. I wouldn't even want to have a conversation with you. I'm happy to tell you you're going to die alone!

[Haha456]

Haha456 Hey, I love making sandwiches - what's wrong with that? Everyone's gotta eat 🙂.
You need to calm down and relax Haha. You're too wound up. Do you feel all stressed out? You are seem like it. So back at you - you can be a hateful person until the day you die and I bet you go first because making sandwiches isn't very stressful.

Some people grow up in a culture where small talking is polite. Especially in the country or small towns.

[Kingofkings1992]

I’m the same way. Let them get offended. Who gives a shit what they think?

[dustybiker]

It’s polite. And not is being rude?

[KrakenAttackin]
