so much this ^In my opinion, most people need to fill up space with words. They are unable to find peace in silence....
so they chatter inanely and expect people to smile at them for thwarting the uncomfortable silence that they assume is common to everyone.
I once known a person on an online game who was so uncomfortable with the server chat being quiet that they actively provoked players around them just for a reaction. These players were just trying to play the game in peace. I actually approached them in dm and asked them why they did such a thing and they told me exactly that "the silence is just too much". And believe it or not, this person was in their 30s and not some kid so it's also an emotional maturity thing I guess.
