I used one word examples for this case to exemplify he fact that being curt with him doesn't work. I'm an introvert, but I do have social skills lol. It just takes me 20 minutes alone to get my lunch and I don't want to spend half of the last 10 minutes socializing about my lunch. And no, he's not trying to bring me out of my shell. I invite him to hangout after work consistently and he always say "maybe tomorrow, I'm too tired today." He literally just likes talking about my lunch. | |

Some people ask these types of inane questions, other people start talking about the weather...in any case, they're hoping that conversation will carry somewhere interesting. | |
