While enjoying my delectable grilled cheese at lunch today, a glance around the cafeteria really got my wheels turning. There I sat at a table, by myself. A guy sat to the table to my right, by himself. To his right was a cafeteria employee, by herself.
Notice a pattern here? The three of us lonely grilled cheese connoisseurs were all sitting by ourselves. We occupied three separate tables, when we could have easily condensed ourselves to one.
Table conservation aside, I want to know why? Why do we insist on choosing an unoccupied table? We are humans, and in order to function as healthy humans, we need to socialize. One would think that this primitive need would even drive us to sit with strangers.
Striking up a conversation with a new acquaintance is not difficult. After all, it is how we make friends and build relationships with one another. So why are we so hesitant to do so most of the time? My question may remain unanswered.
this was sweet...did you go and sit with either of them? i notice that people always are afraid to talk to strangers. the other day, a complete stranger introduced himself to me, and it was the coolest thing ever! great post :)

This is a great post! The world would become a better place if people didn't worry about themselves and tried to reach out to talk to others. I know I want to work on that. Thanks for posting!
