Where I’m from, it’s pretty normal to start conversations with strangers: in cafés, on the street, at a park, etc. Sometimes those conversations can even turn into longer interactions where you end up hearing someone’s whole life story.
I’m curious how this compares across Europe.
In your country, is it normal to talk to strangers like that? Or is it seen as unusual or even uncomfortable? And which countries would you say are the most open/social in this sense?
Would love to hear your experiences, especially if you’ve lived in multiple countries.
