Same reaction every time. What the fuck is wrong with this country?
Be in America

You need to give them some time to load, Americans aren't well equipped to deal with unplanned social interactions. We typically try to completely ignore the existence of other people in public spaces. When someone disrupts this equilibrium by, say, accidentally making eye contact with or standing a little too close to another person, they will experience a wave of shame and embarrassment, and may appear visibly flustered. If by chance it becomes necessary for them to communicate with someone else (for instance if the person in front of them drops something), they will prefer to use gestures or grunts in order to get their attention. They will only resort to speech as a last option when these have failed.
On the flipside, if you were to do any of the above to an unfamiliar American, they would typically feel offended by your affront to their scheduled programming, and might try to communicate this to you through a look of shock or suspicion. Please be patient, we're all autistic.

Woah maybe some people just don't want to talk/talk to you. Just because you're a needy faggot doesn't mean others are. If you have something useful to say say it, if you're just exchanging pleasantries and small talk for no reason go fuck yourself

idk anons, i think there's a difference between being a surface level extrovert and being an authentically sociable person. in armenia, if you go to the market and simply ask a stranger where to find a certain fruit or whatever half of the time they will end up inviting you over to their house for dinner that night. you all seem a litte traumatized by social interaction in comparison

Joseph Bailey

Levi Anderson
Encounters like this are very common
Colton Robinson
unironically keep doing that shit. we need some people to keep trying to hold society together here
Hudson Sullivan
Is this not normal? Do people just walk up to strangers in other countries and start talking to them? I have literally never felt the inclination to speak to another stranger without needing to get by them. I have never initiated a conversation with someone I didn't already know. I clench up if someone talks to me in public, I start fearing that I'll be mugged.
