The stress comes in when people won't leave you alone. the pointless weather conversation is about as tedious and entertaining as pushing buttons in accordance with the directions given to you by a pre-recorded voice on the telephone. I'm not afraid of such conversation, but it does bore the hell out of me.

IMO you need more interseting people to talk to.
Truly interesting, intellegent and well-informed people are rather hard to find, even if you are seeking them out. (Hmmm.....philosophy clubs and mensa meetings, maybe......)
To meet such people, face to face, by chance, in the course of a normal day is about as rare as being struck by a meteorite.
