Out walking, no talking.

 It’s become increasingly depressing - when you go for a walk - whether in the countryside, town or locally - no one wants to interact. I would say that roughly - 8 out of 10 of people don’t want any contact whatsoever. They are cocooned in their own private bubble - often listening to music or a podcast - who knows? It’s very discombobulating that - human contact is now so limited. They are interacting with - the internet, but not with you and me. It’s as if people are now frightened to have a relationship, no matter how transitory it might be. Just saying - hallo, or good morning is perceived as a potential - threat and assault. God knows what the future looks like? For someone at 83 - it’s upsetting and profoundly depressing.
