One day I realized that people didn’t actually care about what I did that weekend. Not in a “they don’t actually care” kind of way, but in a “they aren’t asking for a report on your weekend” kind of way. When people ask about your weekend, they actually do care about you and they want to connect with you, and asking about your weekend or other similar questions is actually a way to start a conversation, learn something about you that is interesting, and find a way to connect with you.
