Choosing to live life in solitude

[InbetweenDreams]

Have you talked to your barber before?

I don't think you were being hurtful, or at least I didn't read it as being hurtful. Likewise, you don't have to talk to the barber, a lot of people don't and that's fine. Also, he's probably talked about the weather several times any given day so yeah I can see how picking such a topic might fall flat. That thing is it should be something that might seem natural to you, if you liked muscle cars for example, that might be a good topic...but if you don't know anything about cars, don't know where the oil goes and so on, probably won't work. So don't force a topic that you're not going to enjoy. That's the whole reason to talk to your barber is to make the experience more pleasant, or a reason that it.
