Strangers
I rarely interact with strangers, but recently i have interacted with some so i will write our interaction here for funsies.
One time my class is postponed for a few hours, so i was wasting time away using my laptop writing blogs in bearblog. I sat on a place where's there is a lot of desks. The desks are fairly empty, with only several people occupying them. Then suddenly a girl asks to sit in front of me. I said yes, but in my mind i wondered why this person decides to sit in the same desk as me even tho there's many more unoccupied desks. Maybe she just doesn't want to hog a whole desk for herself, i thought. In the middle of writing my blog, i took a peek at what she's doing, and she's doing nothing, fiddled with her phone for a bit, and then nothing, and repeat. I wonder why, is she waiting for someone or something? or is she simply tired of standing so she sat here? Many scenarios is in my brain, but i brushed it off and continued writing away. Later, i realized that she is sleeping. Head on the desk sleeping. I do not know why and how this person doesn't feel vulnerable sleeping in front of a stranger. Or maybe she just accidentally sleeping because she's very tired. I went away for a bit to buy snacks, and when i come back, she is still sleeping. When i open the snack loudly (it is simply impossible to open the snack quietly lol), she wakes up, and apologizes for sleeping. I said i don't mind, because i actually don't mind at all, i just find it bizarre why this person doesn't feel vulnerable to do it in front of a stranger, and apologizes for sleeping. I continued writing and eat my snacks, and she is sleeping again. I left when she woke up and told her i have to go. I still don't know why she was there.
One time at evening i have to pray, so i went to this little musholla at the building, and the place is filled with a group of loud guys studying. When i got in to put my stuff before taking a wudhu, some people is sad and says something about unable to study, but i quickly left, so i didn't hear much. When i got back, they are still there, but kindly moves to the right so i have a lot of space to pray. When i started praying, they started whispering as not to bother me while praying. After that, i picked my stuff, and say thanks before leaving, though i do not know if they hear what i said or not. I wear my shoes outside, and i can hear the whisper gradually become very loud again. It was interesting. When i go downstairs, one of my friend was going upstairs, i asked, and she said she's going to pray. I wonder if she got the same treatment w.
I do not know if this the same person, but one time i made this tweet, and i think the possibility is huge because i don't think there's a lot of goku fans irl in my age group. In one of the big class i attend containing 100 students, i was quite late and most of the seats were taken, even the ones beside my friends. So i goes up to this girl and ask if the seat beside her is taken. She says no, so i ask if i can take it, and she says yes. When putting my stuff down, i realized the girl was drawing goku topless (or at least who i thought was goku). She seems like she tries her hardest to draw while covering her drawing from me (which failed miserably because i can still see it lol). So to ease her anxiety of possibly thinking she's gonna be ridiculed from drawing topless goku (i would say i understand this feeling very well), i mention that i also draw, and started showing my drawing to her. She gets really excited and started showing her other drawings to me. When i shake her hand for an introduction, i can feel her hand shivering. She then talk to me about a lot of her interest. I feel like this person rarely find a person who share the same interest as her irl, so she is really and i say REALLY nervous. It was fun and interesting talking to her.
That's a few stories of me interacting with strangers!! It was interesting for me but if you find this boring i am really sorry w
