open air markets where ppl set up booths is horrible. it's hard to look at items in the booths without getting close enough for the ppl behind them to start talking to you. if they start talking to someone else then it's safe to dart in but u gotta be ready to dart back out

was at a market today where there was a really cool necklace but the lady *didn't* put prices on them?! like she expected you to ask her? i wanted it but i didn't ask or buy it because of that

wait is it actually? i thought it was to buy local goods or whatever, not actually interact with the sellers

open air markets are a beautiful tool for connecting people to the production of their goods and creating social connections between people with similar economic needs. they are profoundly underutilized in modern society

Maybe you could wear a sign? "My social skills are extremely poor, if you talk to me, I will not buy nor reward your creativity and skill"?

Parts of the world require you to do this dance every time you wanna buy as much as a carrot. Count yourself lucky.
