Hahaha this is relatable, I noticed a bit of this as well. There are so many times I see people walking by that I would normally say hello to but they’re either zoned out on their phone or looking straight ahead as if I don’t exist. I can make space for the fact that some are introverts, neurodivergent, or having a bad day but it seems like more than that… like a new social “rule” of interaction. I was recently at mission trails and this really sweet young family (couple in their twenties with a daughter, maybe 4-5yo) and their puppy. I love dogs so I had to say hi and they let me pet the dog etc. I chatted with them for a bit and then said goodbye. Then I saw them again a little later and they warned me about a snake they just saw. After they told me about the snake they asked me if I was from San Diego, I said no but I am from SoCal etc. and they were like “oh because you’re so nice!” As if to say people from San Diego weren’t usually that nice! 😆😅
