Approaching individuals who are clearly minding their own business can create feelings of discomfort. In Portland, where encounters with unpredictable individuals are common, such interactions may feel overwhelming. Even harmless greetings can disrupt one's sense of personal space and safety, leading to a perception of intrusiveness. The desire to connect can clash with the desire to be left alone, particularly in public settings where individuals seek solitude.
The way they approach people five heads deep, clearly minding their own business, feels intrusive and unsettling. A friendly initiation can seem overbearing in Portland's atmosphere.
In a city filled with unpredictable encounters, the attempt to connect can feel like adding to the existing discomfort. It creates a clash between friendliness and personal space.
