Why High EQ People: Avoid Small Talk (Brain Truth 2026)

Описание: Do you dread 'How's the weather?' or 'Busy lately?' and feel mentally drained after 2 minutes of chit-chat? 😩 You're not antisocial or awkward—your brain is literally wired against it.

In this video, we uncover the psychology and neuroscience behind why so many people (especially introverts, deep thinkers, and high-IQ folks) hate small talk. It's not about hating people—it's about craving depth, authenticity, and real dopamine hits from meaningful conversations. Small talk feels like 'mental junk food': zero stimulation, high exhaustion. Science shows it drains your limited social energy, triggers cognitive dissonance, and offers no reward for brains that thrive on substance.
If you've ever thought, 'Just get to the point!' or skipped events to avoid surface talk... this explains why—and how to navigate it without guilt. Feel seen? 🧠
