I think people are unknowingly missing small social interactions you might have had pre-covid.
Office interactions at the coffee machine, but in general people tend to stay more to themselves I feel like.
Where's the social interactions in the coffee shop, or while waiting in a cue.
Yeah okay I see what you mean ... well I'm a perfectly happy remote worker since more than 6 years, so I'm not having those "physical" office interactions anyway (somehow also not missing them really).
The social interaction that I love (apart from interacting with family members) is when I go on a cycling trip in the countryside, and I'm just passing people who greet me in a friendly way and I'm greeting them back of course. I can understand that in a big city full of people you tend to do that less but even then, just to look each other in the eye and acknowledge each other, I'm convinced that these little things do a lot of good, it can make my day, it's a feel-good thing.
There's even been research on this subject where the conclusion was that when people in a neighborhood greet each other there's more trust, less crime and so on - more social cohesion, less problems. Respect is THE basis of everything, I'm convinced of that.
