I believe it. My dad owned a store for many years and was social in that he was friendly to the customers and would say hi to them while out in town. He literally has no hobbies or friends and his life consisted of just going to work, running errands, watching tv and eating dinner, going to sleep, rinse and repeat. Now his store is closed and he still doesn’t have any interest in hobbies and he doesn’t have any close friends. It’s like he doesn’t know how to do those things and it’s pretty sad but he refuses to change

Extremely true. I grew up here and sometimes I feel like an asshole but I straight up ignore every single person who tries to get my attention unless they actively chase after me or get in my face (which almost never happens because it usually is a scam and they’ll just wait for the next person to pass by). C’est la vie in NYC
