this is maybe a dumb question but are there places in the world where you go out to vibe with, like, strangers at the mall and they seem generally happy rather than unhappy? idk if i’ve ever lived in one

austin and boulder are my best candidates but my experiences there are pretty colored by only visiting those towns for very specific kinds of authentic relating workshops

yesterday at the mall i tried noticing what (i imagined) the people around me were feeling and watching their faces etc, and mostly everyone seemed in a big hurry and stressed out, and i’m wondering if there are places i would’ve seen more laughter and just like public joy?

I’d imagine this probably has a lot to do with the holidays

that is definitely a contributing factor but i bet it won't improve much in two weeks, i will take a look then
(although in two weeks it might be omicron stress so hmm)
