So... if you don't live your life automatically assuming that every stranger is a threat, you don't waste time and effort with small talk.
You really don't understand this hooman communication thing, do you?
So let me try to parse this; Your interactions with others is on a purely transactional basis?
The statement in your posted image frames the interaction in question ("small talk") as purely transactional. I am working inside that context. You seem to be drawing "understanding" from some external context which has not been presented here.
