More food for thought!! Hmmm. I'm reminded of the rare times I take Uber and I really put forth the effort to chat with my driver. Usually it blossoms into quite the conversation (once I learned that my driver is a poet in his spare time!) And I always feel so nourished afterward. I'm more of an introvert, so the process is super awkward, but the rewards are sweet! Perhaps these types of practices—chitchat with strangers—help us break down those barriers, show that strangers are "safe" and just going out their day like we do!
Yep, we're all going about our days. I'm totally an introvert, too, but some of the moves I find myself making to avoid people are ridiculous. Am I too long in the tooth for any kind of reprogramming? I hope not. Uber though. Sounds idyllic. We barely even have regular taxis where I live, never mind any of the pick-up services. And food delivery? Forget it!
Haha!! Yes it's a bit old school, but that's a quaint perspective I wish I had here. Grass is always greener?? And no! Neuroplasticity knows no age-bounds! You got this!
