The examples you gave seem more like conversation starters (how are you, the weather) rather than signs that the conversation will be boring. When I think of boring conversation, I think more about people who only talk about themselves or go on long tangents about things you don't care about

What you think of others matters equally as much. Be a good person and be careful who you surround yourself with. Be descerning of different groups of people and their beliefs/values/culture. Being rejected by a group of bigots is a good thing, and you wouldn't want to be embraced by them to begin with. There are countless historical examples of individuals led astray by group-think, so don't be too concerned what multitudes think of you. It all depends on context, and wanting to be "rejection proof" might signal too much interest in one's reputation, although I'm not accusing you of that.

I mentioned this in another thread but I think it's regression to the mean

I love the term "workplace democracy", I hope it catches on in wider parlance

Also I recommend everyone check out the 2005 documentary The Devil and Daniel Johnston

Rejecting my vacation request for stupid reasons and not giving me a raise for over two years. I had been there for 10 years.

The smugness of that comment

"Silent" killer that scientists have been loudly warning about for over 40 years now
