In our contemporary culture, the prospect of communicating with—or even looking at—a stranger is virtually unbearable. Everyone around us seems to agree by the way they cling to the phones, even without a signal on a subway.
It’ s a sad reality—our desire to avoid interacting with other human beings—because there’ s 【C1】________to be gained from talking to the stranger standing by you. But you wouldn’ t know it, plugged into your phone. This universal protection sends the【C2】________: "Please don’ t approach me. "
What is it that makes us feel we need to hide behind our screens?
One answer is fear, according to Jon Wortmann, an executive mental coach. We fear rejection, or that our innocent social advances will be【C3】________as "weird. " We fear we’ 11 be judged. We fear we’ 11 be disruptive.
Strangers are inherently【C4】________to us, so we are more likely to feel anxious when communicating with them compared with our friends and acquaintances. To avoid this uneasiness, we【C10】________to our phones. "Phones become our security blanket, " Wortmann says. "They are our happy glasses that protect us from what we perceive is going to be more dangerous. "
But once we rip off the band-aid, tuck our smartphones in our pockets and look up, it doesn’t【C6】________so bad. In one 2011 experiment, behavioral scientists Nicholas Epley and Juliana Schroeder asked commuters to do the unthinkable: Start a conversation. They had Chicago train commuters talk to their fellow【C7】________"When Dr. Epley and Ms. Schroeder asked other people in the same train station to predict how they would feel after talking to a stranger, the commuters thought their【C8】________would be more pleasant if they sat on their own. " The New York Times summarizes. Though the participants didn’ t expect a positive experience, after they went through with the experiment, "not a single person reported having been embarrassed. " 【C9】________, these commutes were reportedly more enjoyable compared with those without communication, which makes absolute sense, since human beings thrive off of social connections. It’ s that【C10】________: Talking to strangers can make you feel connected.
