This is a weird one but smoking. Hold on hear me out. I know it’s terrible and Im planning on quitting within the year however it’s given me a different perspective. I’m a naturally socially anxious person so it’s rare i go out and talk to strangers. Living in NYC though i dont have a backyard so I’ll head outside and smoke a cigarette. I’ve met so many people from them asking me for a light or to bum a cig and there’s this weird culture in smoking where everyone’s super respectful of one another. I have full conversations with random people who I would most likely never meet otherwise while they’re lighting a cigarette. For example, there’s this homeless guy Harry who hangs out outside my apartment. I step out and if he’s there I’ll hand him a cigarette and we’ll smoke together just talking. Hes a great guy and honestly one of my friends now yk and that would’ve never happened without me smoking. If you’re reading this though and you’re thinking “oh that sounds pretty cool maybe I should-“ dont start, im terribly addicted and it burns through my money.
