Right, in a world where everyone seems to be saying "Don't bother strangers in public, nobody wants to be bothered!" I'm supposed to just go out and... talk to strangers... until I magically make friends?
So all the things people criticized me for in the past (i.e., talking to strangers who apparently didn't want to be bothered) are now precisely what I'm supposed to do to overcome the symptoms of the social rejection I experienced from being labeled as someone who talks to strangers in public?
Yeah, I'd rather die alone than twist my brain into knots trying to decode that jumbled mess.
