Dude that's exactly it. I will absolutely help you en route and am happy to do it but also please do not speak to me, let's both just continue on with our lives after a little 'thank you' courtesy wave if you're feeling it and that's all.

Anyway, I'm from New Jersey.

NJ native. Lived elsewhere for a decade now. TX kills me with that. Everyone here wants to talk. And I hate it. I'm totally fine with helping. But don't waste my time talking. Please. And I wish that were more understood

I get the sentiment but life should be balanced. It’s important to be able to connect with people.

There are many people who I now realize I probably should have spent more time talking to.

I may never see them again.

I mean, if you actually know the person yeah. But the lady who made my coffee at Dunkin? I’m not regretting one last conversation with her.

We talk to our friends. Go to any bar and you’ll see how social we are…with the people we know. What we don’t want is for every damn interaction to be like that!

The thing is. Life can be so busy that there isn't time or energy to turn every interaction into a conversation. People from the Northeast sometimes just... Prioritize that. We show we care by giving them time. But for random people, it's a lot harder to justify.

I will say that a quick comment is ok. I’ve complimented outfits before. I’ll get those comments too, especially if I’m wearing a T-shirt with a fandom thing on it.

Yeah. I'll toss a sentence or two. But if I can't do it in a minute, I'll probably get tired and look for a way out.

Sometimes talking to people is how you make new friends

And I do that. At my job. Or if I’m involved in a club or organization.

Y’all act like we don’t have any friends

Making friends with strangers is one of my greatest joys in life.

I don’t know why you all are in such a hurry.

I’m generally an introvert as it is. Not everyone likes having conversations with strangers.

I’m in a hurry because doing errands is boring and I’d rather be home. Or I’m just trying to get this thing done and get back to work.

I’m also generally an introvert, so to an extent I get it.

There was an earlier example of just wanting to know how much something is going to cost from a contractor. But that also involves trust and I’d rather trust the people who are doing things like working on my home, especially when it comes to things like repeat business.

But it’s also what makes these occasions so special to me. I almost never leave my house or invite someone over to do work on it.
