I remember once I talked a bit too slowly during a conversation (I was mentally checked out at the time) and the guy I was talking to took it as license to bully me over it for years after the fact. The day it ended was the day I moved. Interactions such as these were a regular part of my childhood and I don’t think I’ll ever fully unlearn the lessons they taught me.
This is considered pretty weird in most English speaking countries. Like I know it’s a huge problem and I still have a knee jerk “get the fuck away from me” reaction to most strangers trying to start a conversation.
You get a lot more random conversing and small talk in the South. I usually can’t walk around in my town without at least 5 or 6 people stopping me to chat for a sec. Going to a brewery here is like going to a highschool, everyone’s all cliqued up and knows each other.
That being said, there’s still tons of weird asd dudes who think that just because a woman said “how’s it going?” to them that it’s okay to start stalking them. Luckily word spreads fast lol
Can people please just go outside and talk to other people thank you
maybe if i hadn’t been abused for years for being neurodivergent and if the other people would wear a mask.

This explains so much why foreign men think women being friendly and talkative equals “these latinas were all over my nuts, dude.”

No because it’s over 42°C outside and I’ll die if I’m outside too long
