I did this in a waiting room at the doctors office. The person next to me got up and moved to the other side of the room.
People see me not on my phone and automatically think I'm a psychopath.

I see a huge difference in generations. My parents generation can go anywhere and not be bored. They strike up conversations with other people even when those people do not immediately benefit them. They can sit for hours in a spot and not get stressed about it. They enjoy things.
Raw dogging life.
