Other people need it more than you do. The world is lonely. Even in a good and pretty wealthy neighborhood like the one that I live in, you’ll see people that are scrolling on their phone with their AirPods in. They’re not really that happy. Why not just ask them a simple question like “What did you do during break?” It doesn’t have to be a long conversation. Just simple and short and by doing that you are actually giving a compliment since you show that you care about them. People want to be heard. So be genuinely interested in them. Or at least pretend to. Go talk to someone right now and you’ll see how receptive most people are to you talking to them. Even better go talk to someone that you don’t know that well and you might even make their day.
