The night my grandmother died, a stranger made us a cup of coffee while we talked about whether to take my grandma off life support. It made me believe in strangers and people. Read below:

"It occurred to me that perhaps I was misdirecting my anger, that perhaps I was really angry about how buying a home is inaccessible to most of my generation, and that my senior neighbors aren’t to blame for that."

A while back when visiting Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow I heard the haunting sound of a Chinese flute nearby.
Today, while visiting the Riverside Museum on my bike I heard it again - it was the same man - so I went to talk to him, only he couldn’t speak English nor I Mandarin.
He used his phone translation app and I discovered his name is Gao Xijing, he’s 74 and from Xi’an - and when I told him I’d been to Xi’an to see the Terracotta Army his face lit up!
What a lovely encounter!

Can anyone who finds it hard to talk with #strangers talk about why this happens? I suspect there are multiple reasons and situations.

A month or so ago I befriended a fellow #AuDhd man. Warm and caring in nature but struggled talking with #strangers. We connected online and talked every day or 3 about how to get into talking with strangers.
We met 17 days ago to talk face to face and also talk with strangers. Over an hour that left me drained of energy. But he flourished.
And there ended all dialogue from him. Random cessation of connection seems to be a modern problem.

On a bridge over an ornamental pond in the park I stopped and stood side-by-side with an older lady to watch the fish. "What kind are they?" I ventured to ask.
"Koi carp," she replied and went on to tell me, little by little, how she had raised her own in a tank on her balcony. Bought one every time one of her six children was born so they grew up together. How they outgrew their tank and she had to give them away and she misses them still.

→ How to give a compliment
https://psyche.co/guides/how-to-give-a-compliment“I realised I was spending too much time on my phone in public, so I started making a point to compliment strangers, to help me stay grounded and bring a little joy to the world”
“Focus on what someone has chosen to show. It’s safer to compliment what one purposely does, displays or achieves than the visible characteristics they didn’t choose.”
