[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was somewhere recently standing alone in a tranquil place outdoors when a group of eight Millennials (four couples) in their 30s to early 40s showed up. Fine, I don't own the space it's for everyone, all are welcome. But what was weird is how they crowded in on both sides of me in that open space. They were literally standing all around me, with me in the middle. They were talking to each other the whole time, immersed in conversation about their favorite streaming shows, talking literally over my head
(I 'm 5'1) on both sides of me like I wasn't there and didn't exist. It wouldn't have mattered if they had been ten feet to the side and hadn't crowded around within a foot of me. It was like being in a huge room with 50 empty tables and I'm sitting at one and this group of total strangers walks in and sits right down at my table and doesn't acknowledge that I'm there. That's how it felt. This went on for maybe 10 minutes until I left. I kept waiting for them to walk on, but they just kept standing there. I'm Gen X. It isn't my first odd communication experience with that age group. I really do think there's something basic missing in the operating system of many people in the 32 to 44 age range. They lack something, and it's more than just a lack of manners. It's a lack of heart and soul. It's as if growing up on social media stole a part of their humanity and they don't see people who are right in front of them. It's super odd.[/quote]

I would interrupt and ask they why did they surround me?[/quote]
