Have a Cookie…

Daily writing prompt
Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you.
View all responses

As I live a solitary life, I rarely attract eye contact from others, let alone an encounter.

In honesty, I cannot remember any positive results from encountering random strangers… just sayin! While I’m sure that I must have, at some point in my past, come upon a stranger that left a positive outcome… however, none come to mind at the moment, sorry!

In light of how absolutely closed and distrustful our society has become over the last several years, I find this prompt question to be somewhat out of place; not bad, mind you, simply strange. Nowadays, folks don’t seem to want any encounters that are considered random! The general attitude I see reflecting off most peoples faces, is something akin to, ” I won’t talk to you, if you promise to not talk to me!” I find it rather sad! Sadly, even being the Chatty Cathy that I am, I haven’t been able to come up with anything to share, at least not at the moment.

Hence, the cookies being offered before bothering to attempt an answer to this daily prompt. I will say that I’ll be pondering this for a while. Perhaps if this question rolls around next year, I’ll have a better answer to share with everyone.

For now, have some cocoa to dip your cookies in…

  1. Look at you being social after telling us how unsocial you’ve become. Random acts of friendliness. A simple smile and hello is good enough to brighten my spirits.

    I live in the city, people are usually too busy for being friendly to strangers. But some people are quick with a smile and a hello. It doesn’t take much to brighten moods.

  2. I can’t like posts, so I’m gonna leave a comment about how much I like this post. I’m chatty person too, surprising seeing how introverted I am.

      1. I could not recall any either, honestly.
        But I also agree with the part you wrote about people nowadays and our closed society. People have zero interest in knowing or being decent to others. Courtesy is a dead art.

  6. You were one of the first when I started blogging that gave me positive feedback and encouragement to continue. I appreciate and see how you reach out to others and do the same. You were a chance encounter and definitely a positive one for me.😊
