What is small talk? I'm a very introspective thinker, a very cerebral individual. That's a fancy way of saying I overthink everything lol.

I do spend a lot of time thinking about people, human nature, etc. I'm highly empathetic (almost to a fault), and I'm very rational.

I just want to find someone I can relate to. I'm not ashamed to admit I'm affected by social anxiety, but when I find the right person I can relate to, often someone else with some degree of social anxiety, then that person just doesn't induce my anxiety. I want someone I can talk to, have a meaningful conversation with, someone okay with the fact that I generally enjoy spending my free time just relaxing indoors, reading, watching something online, etc.
