Spent the entire last year voluntarily unemployed and being friendly and open in a cafe throughout the day, based on the same reasoning as yours.
Putting any more time into this seems like a waste of life.
- brailsafe 4y agoThat doesn't really counter what I said, it just means that specifically didn't work out for you. People in my hometown are rather insular, that's partly why I don't live there. Good to try some new ideas.
- legerdemain 4y agoI mean, yes, but I am the only person that I care about in this instance. The fact that I am who it didn't work out for is what matters to me. I'm not a sociologist. I've been doing the cafe thing all throughout my adult life in three different US states, and I've honestly never seen organic socializing happen that way (apart from some unfortunate incidents with creeps and cranks). Maybe there's some environment where you've seen it work, but I have tried and never succeeded.
