Most people today crave a sense of connection, and a short verbal exchange with a stranger is surprisingly powerful. The awkwardness of a failed conversation is brief and light when compared to the fulfillment that comes with randomly connecting to a person you know nothing about

whenever i’m waiting in line, or walking next to someone, i love to try start a conversation. just say hi, try to make some small talk and see what happens. sometimes its awkward, but sometimes we really hit it off. its scary at first but ive found im always glad i did it. usually i don’t even get their name - its just nice getting to know someone

I love an ephemeral chat with a stranger. The kind where you both silently acknowledge it's situational, but it's nice to just make each others' company a pleasant way to pass the time for that fleeting moment. I hardly initiate the conversation these days (I think the pandemic knocked me back a few rungs on the social confidence ladder), but I'm always open to it. It's a good alternative to drifting through life scrolling on a phone in public, and for someone like me, it's always a benefit to be shaken out of your over-analytical thought factory. The only time I'm not shy is when I see someone with a film camera - then I go full motor-mouth.

Going for a little walk and maybe meet some people on the way to a cafe try to initiate small talk even if you feel like they’re gonna be a bore, most of the time you’ll actually enjoy it. Just talking in general it’s actually so fun to just talk to people.

People will excuse most social faux pas if you're skilled enough at laughing at yourself. Be slightly weirder.

We were the only people who got on the 7.40 bus from my small town, he got picked up two stops after mine. Then, the 8.28 train to Lisbon and finally the green line of the metro, exiting at Arroios. He went to the the south exit and me to the north, but suddenly he stopped getting on the bus. I hope you're ok, my man. Still love your blue shoes (you know the ones).
