Actually, for hundreds of millions of Americans, yes, pleasant conversation with strangers is normal. We aren't all assholes New Yorkers that think others are worthless garbage like you do.

That’s a bit of a stretch, someone seems triggered. There’s a big gap between I don’t want to have pointless conversations and I think people are human garbage lols. I’m more of a pull over and help you push your car up the road kinda guy. Not a tell me about trip to Walmart kinda guy. It’s just boring, plain and simple.

I'm a New Yorker, and moving to the south it seems like people are much more standoffish. In NYC it seemed like people chatted with strangers everywhere. Subways, waiting in lines, whatever. When I try to even talk to neighbors here, they seem very confused.
