what is it about the simple exchange of data that creates this exclusively human bond called friendship? why do people care about small stuff like movies and music and clothes and tv? and why do we rely on the exchange of this meaningless information to build human relationships? aren't we all far worse off for it? why don't we just talk about real things all the time? is it that we can't handle it? do we all need buffers? are we just incapable of revealing important thoughts and ideas to people we don't trust? are we just afraid they'll judge us or think we're too "heavy"? how does that casual information exchange foster any real trust in people? ...and why does it all take so long??

I think you hit the nail on the head with the questions about revealing important thoughts to people we don't trust and worrying about being judged. I think people tend to feel vulnerable when they reveal thoughts that reflect their character. This vulnerability comes from the fear of being judged, in my opinion. I agree that if we would share these thoughts without fear of the response, our friendships and trust in others would grow so much faster. Good thoughts!
