A
I did an experiment by talking to strangers recently.Here are some things I experienced
during the experiment.
On October 9th,while visiting my family hometown for a wedding,I met a man sitting
on the side of the hotel pool.We started talking.It turned out that he had just moved to the
area with his family from Chicago.I told him what I knew about the community,the schools,
and particular neighborhoods where he was looking to buy a house.He was grateful to me for
my information.The interaction made me feel useful and valuable.
On May 20th,we had three men from a tree trimming company visiting our
house to cut back our trees.Normally,I would let them work outside without engaging them
in conversation.This time,after they finished their work,I asked one of the tree trimmers,
only half-joking,if they fell off trees frequently.One of the tree trimmers said that he had
been climbing trees for 27 years and reported he had fallen out of a tree once and hurt his
knee.I loved that conversation.I didn't always talk to someone whose job was to climb up
trees,but it was interesting for learning about how they did it.I also realized I learned
something new.
On May 30th,I went to an outdoor block party on Friday night,along with my wife and
our 3-month-old baby.Our baby was wearing oversized noise-cancelling headphones that
truly looked pretty ridiculous on a baby.When I tried to talk with others,they immediately
started talking with me after seeing the baby.I found it was almost very easy to start talking
with people when you had a baby with you.
All in all,I felt great about most of my interactions with strangers.Almost every
interaction left me feeling a little happier.I also felt I learned new things by talking to people
from different walks of life who I wouldn't normally meet.
