[quote=Anonymous]I know what you mean OP. It’s probably because the group doesn’t have much in common anymore, so they default to a topic of conversation that’s fairly inoffensive. And people are trying to keep the conversation from dying out by contributing their own anecdotes. I doubt anyone went home thinking they had an awesome conversation - it’s hard work to keep a conversation going for 2-3 hours among people who don’t naturally fit together! Or it could be low EQ people who are looking for an excuse to brag. I know a few of those. We are wealthy but don’t travel much these days because of little kids. I have a much-less-wealthy frenemy who is always trying to brag about her mediocre-sounding family vacations and girls’ trips. I just smile and nod and ask a few polite questions while snickering in my head.[/quote]
