You Changed Someone's Day More Than

Why do most people fail at small talk.
I once watched an argument that went nowhere. One person stayed calm, but the other kept pushing, criticizing, pulling the conversation down. Eventually, the calm one gave in and started reacting the same way.
In that moment, nothing was solved, both just ended up frustrated and negative. That's when it really made sense to me: not every situation deserves your energy. Sometimes the smartest move isn't to engage at all,
it's to walk away and protect your peace.
