I’m Weirdly Friendly In Airports
And I Don’t Know Why
Air travel.
It is the faster yet one of the most tumultuous forms of travel these days.
If any of you have flown more than once, then you know that the airports are filled with either assholes or overly friendly people.
And from personal observation over the last several times I’ve flown, I seem to fall into the latter category.
I’m More Social than Usual
While I try not to come off as an irritable dick in public, I’m also not terribly social with others, especially when I’m headed somewhere.
I do my own thing and ensure I’m not late.
But whenever I’m in an airport, even when I’m sleep-deprived, I smile a lot, and I’m much more likely to engage in conversation with strangers, whether it’s a barista or a fellow traveler.
Maybe it’s because I’m traveling by myself, so I don’t have to worry or rely on my companions to get their shit done, leading to less stress.
