Why I Avoid Small Talks as a Projector
Update: 2025-01-13
Description
Small talk has always made me feel uneasy. It’s not just a mild discomfort but a deep sense of frustration, as if my time and energy are being siphoned away for no real purpose. For years, I’ve tried to sidestep these shallow exchanges without fully understanding why they bothered me so much. Then, I discovered Human Design.
When I was finally ready to hear the truth about my relationship with small talk, it came to me in the form of Human Design. As a Projector in this system, I’ve come to realize that my discomfort with small talk isn’t random—it’s deeply tied to who I am at my core. Projectors thrive on depth. We’re not built to flit from one surface-level topic to the next; we’re designed to focus, to dive deep, and to illuminate what truly matters. Small talk, with its endless cycle of mundane questions and unimportant answers, feels like the exact opposite of what energizes me.
Human Design helped me understand that my discomfort with small talk is a feature, not a flaw. It’s a guidepost directing me towards the meaningful and away from the meaningless. And for that, I’m deeply grateful.
