I dont understand casual conversation

I dont understnd what kind of satisfaction they get out of asking me dumb questions that they probably arent even listening to the answers. Questions like "How was your day?" or "What did you eat today?" are particularly bothersome. Do they really want me to tell them what I ate and whether my day was good or bad? Does silence bother people that much that much?

You are not the first person to have this thought. What is refreshing is when someone else (or you can do it yourself) asks how your day is going sincerly. HOORAY FOR SINCERITY
