Most of the time when Im out and about Im completely zoned out in my own little happy place or thought-adventure, anything to distract myself from the anxiety that comes with being out in busy public places. When Im in this head space I try to be as invisible as possible and avoid eye contact with strangers. Yesterday as I was walking, hoping no one would notice me, I saw a guy standing against a lamp post stretching his legs before a jog, and he hopped out of my way and gave me such a warm, sincere smile I almost tripped over my own feet. I awkwardly smiled back and continued on my way feeling instantly more relaxed and grounded. If youre able to, smile at strangers, especially if they look sad or anxious. Take it from me; it can really change someones vibe.
