[ID: Text that reads: Y'all don't wanna talk to your coworkers your neighbors the grocery store cashiers the waitresses in restaurants kids in public and then wonder why you lonely as fuck and unfulfilled. Joe Biden's America. End ID]

Question prompted by this tweet I just saw

#it depends on whether they are strangers or friends or coworkers #im Polish though so Joe Biden's America doesn't apply to me #but in general if i know that the people have good intentions i will gladly talk to them #there is absolutely no 'talking to cashiers in grocery stores' culture here though #i mean maybe in small shops..but cashiers only tell you the amount you have to pay and don't do the (i assume?) American 'how are you' stuf #but like i always thought of myself as a bit awkward and shy and quiet #but i think that i actually talk a lot once i start #i don't start interactions with strangers i random places though #like i will talk to strangers during events i go to intentionally like dances or parties but only if it makes sense in the context #like i won't approach a complete stranger dancing next to me at a techno party #but if im at a queer meet up and they are playing board games i will approach them and ask if i can play or watch etc #and i talk to my friends all the time #it also depends on other people. if they are engaging me in the conversation then yessss but if i have to fight my way through it then.nooo
