Is this a normal thing, to want to share your day with someone regularly? I've never felt the urge to do this, even on notable days. Wondering if anyone can explain their reasoning.

Asking someone about their day just a way to check in with your partner or spouse or friend. It can be an invitation to vent about work, show interest in a project they're working on, or offer them some adult conversation if they have been with children all day.

Recounting every detail isn't necessary. I try to stick to funny or notable moments. It's more a desire for connection than a desire for a precise accounting and i'm glad to skip it if there's something more interesting to talk about.
