@Luckylu most of the time I just want to be left alone and not approached by a stranger trying to talk to me

@SW-User I understand. It really depends on how the stranger approaches me whether I will welcome it or not. As a single person, with very few friends, actually none locally, I would welcome a friend.

@Dan193 Just a simple “Hi, would you like some company. Just a friend of course, nothing more.” Would have been a nice start. It really depends on what you perceive of their state of being. If I appeared troubled or upset, “Hi, are you okay?” But then that is me, and where I am at today.

@SW-User I'm with you. If I'm sitting alone on a bench, it's because I want to sit alone on a bench.

@sarabee1995 you’re staking out some mission critical russky spy

@sarabee1995 the earpiece gave you away—that and you’ve never sat still in the last decade

@BiasForAction True. Sitting still is not in my skillset. Even when at my desk, I'm standing up. 🤷♀️
