In our contemporary culture, the prospect of communicating with - or even
looking at - a stranger is virtually unbearable. Everyone around us seems to
agree by the way they cling to their phones, even without a 1 on a subway.
It‘s a sad reality - our desire to avoid interacting with other human
beings- because there‘s 2 to be gained from talking to the stranger standing
by you. But you wouldn‘t know it, 3 into your phone. This universal
protection sends the 4 : DPlease don‘t approach me.‖�
What is it that makes us feel we need to hid 5 our screens?
One answer is fear, according to Jon Wortmann, an executive mental coach.
We fear rejection, or that our innocent social advances will be 6 as
Dweird.‖ We fear we‘ll be 7 . We fear we‘ll be disruptive.�
Strangers are inherently 8 to us, so we are more likely to feel 9 when
communicating with them compared with our friends and acquaintances. To avoid
this uneasiness, we 10 to turn our phones. DPhones become our security �
blanket,‖ Wortmann says. DThey are our happy glasses that protect us from �
what we perceive is going to be more 11 .‖
But once we rip off the band-aid, tuck our smartphones in our pockets and
look up, it doesn‘t 12 so bad. In one 2021 experiment, behavioral scientists
Nicholas Epley and Juliana Schroeder asked commuters todo the
unthinkable: DStart a 13 . They had Chicago train commuters talk to their �
fellow 14 . When Dr. Epley and Ms. Schroeder asked other people in the same
train station to 15 how the would feel after talking to a stranger, the
commuters thought their 16 would be more pleasant if they sat on thier own,‖
The New York Times summarizes. Though the participants didn‘t expect a
positive experience, after they 17 with the experiment, Dnot a single person�
reported having been embarrassed.‖
18 these commutes were reportedly more enjoyable compared with those
without communication, which makes absolute sense, 19 human beings thrive off
of social connections. It's that 20 : Talking to strangers can make you feel
connected.
