You won't cause anything negative by just chilling during the flight. Meanwhile, by trying to connect, you might make someone's travel worse. So if you value the fellow passengers, best move is not to risk it, at least not on the plane. Otherwise you're just gambling with their mood, which seems a bit shitty.

There’s a lot of big assumptions built into how you think about risk if the only possible outcomes you can conceive of are negative.

at least not on the plane

Oh yes the plane. Because of the implication, right?

I just feel bad that your outlook is so sad for all of this.

Well you won't negatively affect them by not interacting with them. They are still free to talk to you, after all. The implication is a good one because they don't know what sort of creep or angry person you might be and how you would react to rejection. You're almost insisting on talking to the people on a situation you know might negatively affect them and where they are stuck in the situation and that just seems odd.

I feel like you’re just reiterating your last comment as though you didn’t read mine.

You havent really addressed it propeely imo. I just don't understand the mindset.

Would you care to address any of the articles with research and numbers that I claim back me up?

I see you don’t understand the mindset. I don’t believe you are trying to.

I don't get how the articles "back you up" in this point

You're almost insisting on talking to the people on a situation you know might negatively affect them and where they are stuck in the situation and that just seems odd.

What do the articles have to do with that?
