http://www.livejournal.com/community/infp_v2/44846.html?thread=514094#t514094while thinking out loud typing that, some interesting things came up. i'd like to go further on this.
as infps we generally say we hate smalltalk. but what we are probabaly talking about is other types' smalltalk. i put forward the notion that infps actually just have our own smalltalk, and we gladly converse in this.
it's what we do on the infp community, we just smalltalk.
it seems to fit all the hallmarks of smalltalk. non-confrontational, shallow (relatively), repeatable.
but after talking about the weather for the 40th time, you get sick of it.
(i should lookup the definition of "smalltalk")
