Hm, good point but I don’t agree with the conclusion.

You forget that knowing people isn’t a simple matter of shared football clubs or coincidences. In conversations- small or not- you’re not just sharing details about yourself or filling a form, you’re being vulnerable, exposing yourself, and letting yourself be known- and possibly rejected.

Knowing people is deliberate, requires a work and effort. I think people reserve a right to make that choice.

And if they only seldomly choose to reveal themselves, it doesn’t mean they’re shallow or ‘small’. It just means they don’t want to see more than meets the eye and that’s okay (imo).
