What topics to discuss?
I am and deep thinker, and I am not much into small talk. Topics about the weather, or clothing bore me, but I do realize there is a point to it.
I like to talk about topics like, “what’s the most sacred thing in your life?” Or “what’s the do you value most, money or time?” Most people don’t listen to understand they wait for their turn to talk. I think deeper subjects cause people to respond, rather than react. Questions like this reveal a person’s inner world. And if you want to get to know someone well it’s better to ask deeper questions.
