I have thought this as well. Lets do something about it.
I challenge everyone of us to make one random connection by the end of the day friday and post about your experience...no bs, real random connections.
Approach a stranger in any situation and make a connection with them. Initiate conversation, entertain them, teach them something, whatever. Pick one 'stranger' and dont just walk on by.
It would be an interesting social experiment and a way for many of us to break out of our shells, or help a stranger break out of theirs.
Make it positive, make it inspiring, make it fun!
Im looking forward to it already. I do this a lot, especially when Im out with my son. He draws attention. He facilitates random conversation.
Today I will do it without him.
Anyone else?
