A new survey from Preply reveals a shocking truth: 71% of Americans would rather sit in silence than make small talk!
From awkward elevator chats to phone-scrolling as an escape, the data uncovers how different generations handle everyday conversation. Gen Z is far more likely to shield themselves from small talk by glancing at their screens, while older adults are more likely to use small talk to build connections with others.
The survey also ranks the safest topics (great weather, today!) and the most dreaded ones (please don’t bring up what you saw on the news.) The survey is a fun snapshot about how Americans really feel about casual chat and why silence often wins.
