Why are you more difficult to talk to strangers, especially in the elevator, at least in the north of the USA that’s what I witnessed, do you have any biological explanation, such as cold weather? Or is it really just fear? Can anyone explain this very interesting question to me?

1. It’s not cold weather, and it certainly isn’t fear. We just happen to not believe that simply being in mere proximity to someone else obligates either of us to participate in an ultimately entirely inconsequential bit of small talk.

   I understand people who feel that it’s good manners to be friendly and talkative, but we just believe that it’s good manners to allow you to go about your day without being obligated to chat with me.
   It’s certainly not personal! It’s just a cultural difference.

2. > biological
