The key to understanding is finishing the sentence.

"I hate small talk... with people I have no reason to talk to and don't care about."

I love my partner, and even when it's small talk I can listen all day, just to hear their voice and learn a little more about them, to feel closer to the person I married in many small ways.

But I don't care about what Jim at the laundry mat did last weekend, or which machine he thinks makes socks dry faster.

But small talk is what got you your wife. What if Jim can be your future if you just gave him the time

Drag didn't get drag's dragon by doing small talk. Drag's dragon fell in love with drag because it was impressed with drag's magic.

Get yourself a girlfriend by impressing her with your arcane talents.
