Smile at a stranger
I went into the library and walked around. Sitting occasionally in different spots to look around at the students in the library. If I made eye contact I would smile and if feeling awkward I would wave. Some students would feel awkward as I didn’t know them very well, on one occasion a smiled at a group of girls and they all laughed and left their table. I’m pretty sure I freaked them out. I thought it was weird how people think that it’s so out of the ordinary to smile at strangers. Being nice made me feel like a creep, I felt like my smile was weird and I was an odd-looking person in their eyes. Which was not the case of course. It was a fun experiment but definitely out of my comfort zone. Its interesting to see how we pay little to no attention to one another even with strangers.
