Thank you for sharing. I’m borrowing this.
This happened to me, but it was “have you heard of our lord and savior” rather than just a hi, so I was very pissed.
On the plane, I put on headphones without playing anything, just so people will not talk to me
Or you could just… socialize 🤔
EDIT: Assuming it’s two people who know each other already. Why would a stranger go up to you, to ask how’s it going, when they don’t know you at all?
I don’t get paid for that
You’re the guy in the orange shirt, aren’t you?
The guy asking about his day? Yes.

YOU just got my very first down arrow!
Why?
Why socialise?
If I recognize someone, then I’ll ask them how’s it going, either to be polite, or because I genuinely care about them
“Fuck whatever you are doing, I want to talk to you right now for not reason at all” is not a very polite message to pass.
If people make themselves uncomfortable just so they can clearly tell you that they do not want to talk to you… it may be because they don’t want to talk to you.
If someone has headphones on, you can wave, and if they take them off then greet them. If they have no headphones in, you can just greet them
If you are waving at people that clearly aren’t in the mood for empty chatting, it’s certainly because you have something important to say.
Someone with headphones on does not necessarily mean they wouldn’t want to chat. And a wave doesn’t necessarily mean the waver wants to chat either (I don’t mean waving right next to someone to get their attention)
I completely agree with you, also with the wave and greet. 🤷♀️
Or the other guy could just…leave him the fuck alone.
Nobody wants me to do that. You think you do, but you really don’t. One way or another someone’s getting their feelings hurt
They hated Him because he spoke the Truth.

Libraries = extroverts’ worst nightmare.

It’s like fishing. I don’t HAVE to do it. But I enjoy the atmosphere. It’s one of the last things I have left in this world from my youth. I spent almost every free minute I could in school in either the library or computer lab.

As if the people stupid enough to not take precautions against covid even know where their local library IS, let alone have any desire to enter 🙄
Where are you? 2020?
You are not owed interpersonal interaction because you want it.
And then what?
You both go on about your day after a polite exchange
You can’t let people be can you?
If I recognize someone I know, and I’m in a mood to chat, then no, probably not.
And you don’t understand how that may come off as assholish behaviour.
I have absolutely no idea at all. Completely blank. I’m not American, so it’s most likely a difference in culture. Chatting to people I know, has always been a pleasant experience.
/I’m serious, I’m completely oblivious to how it’s assholish behaviour to talk to people I know-
I’m with you bro. After all that lockdown I’m never going to take it for granted again.
So basically exactly the same as if they left me alone? Except now I’m annoyed that I was interrupted for nothing?
