Why do people talk so much?

[VanLife]

But don't actually say anything.....

I know you're not one for a lot of words, but you're going to need to give us an example.

Because we're humans and most of us thrive off social interactions no matter how trivial. Look at the damage not talking to people (lockdown) has had on elderly people for a start...

Are you actually talking about people who talk at you rather than have a two way conversation?
Think you need to talk a bit more op

My sister thinks the same as you OP. She hates small talk and doesn't get it. She does have ASD though. We've obviously told her how to do small talk and she is pretty good at it! But she doesn't see the point at all!

@Fairyliz or maybe you need to talk less? 😶

Why do people imply they have a AIBU question and then fail to provide any context?

'Tis most perplexing....

@PonyPatter44 that's the point.. there usually is no context to people's ramblings they just talk on and on for the sake of it, it seems

Exactly what youre doing now.

@Howaboutnope exactly.. it's strange isn't it.. why do we do it? Even with no context to my op .. were still talking.. about seemingly nothing? Why?

But this isn't the norm OP. Most people have an actual question or point to discuss alongside context, or at least if they omit they will clarify later. You're pointless rambling is more rare.

@liveforsummer I did have a question ..

Which only one person offered an actual answer, @over2021 😃

I actually meant you need to talk more in terms of explaining the situation to us.
I can’t stand people who talk at me 😁

This is all a bit waiting for godot

@Fairyliz there isn't a situation to explain.. I was just asking a question 🙂

@Momicrone interesting 😉

It passes the time.

@D0lphine it's interesting you came to this response to my question with no context. I don't think me and your sister think alike, but thank you for talking ☺️ X

@fairylightsandwaxmelts it does doesn't it

How do you know that?😉 It's interesting you need and example to answer a question aswell, thank you 😊

'tis tisn't tit 😉

It's odd isn't it. I've just come off the phone to a friend. She's just back off holiday, she spent 30 mins taking about her weekend of unpacking and catching up on her sleep, nothing about her holiday.

We are all born mad, some remain so
