I hate small talk. I only ever engage in conversations which are of interest, otherwise I simply have nothing to add. When I try to engage in small talk, it's difficult to find something to say, and when I do, I force it out. I feel like I have to conform to these social norm else be considered rude...

We go on to the 'other side', be it Heaven, Hell, another dimension, etc - I could only believe this if I wasn't concerned with evidence to support my thoughts.
