[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 1224, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.bbc.com/news/world-48459940'][B]The surprising benefits of talking to strangers - BBC[/B][/URL] Most people spend part of every day surrounded by strangers, whether on their daily commute, sitting in a park or cafe, or visiting the supermarket. Yet many of us remain in self-imposed isolation, believing that reaching out to a stranger would make you both feel uncomfortable. These beliefs may be unwarranted. In fact, [URL='https://faculty.chicagobooth.edu/nicholas.epley/EpleySchroederJEPG2014.pdf']our research suggests[/URL] we may often underestimate the positive impact of connecting with others for both our own and others' wellbeing. For example, having a conversation with a stranger on your way to work may leave you both feeling happier than you would think. [/QUOTE]
