As said by @Mateusz Bagiński , normal smalltalk is +epsilon, but some more comparisons: a short smile with a stranger or acquaintance is like eating a very tasty fruit. 90% percentile conversations are all with good friends and leave me high for a few hours. As good as a very good date. No non-social activities come close. I don’t actually remember any best particular ones, but the best ones i can recall aren’t about conversations anymore but about presence, which isn’t conversation anymore, I think. They feel extremely nourishing and meaningful and my only comparison is a really, really good IFS or therapy session.
