So now you arw putting the pressure on other people to stop you from bothering them insteas of not just bothering them. Not to mention the other person will have no idea how you will take the rejection, what your intentions are and so on.
Seems pretty selfish to put them in that position.

I’m not trying to get into the “how to disengage from a stranger” conversation, but your assessment of people interacting in public seems to be predicated with an assumption that they dont understand people.
You have made some additional bad assumptions about how you think the interactions I’m proposing should go, and how and when they should stop.
The good news is that this hostility toward the world that you seem to set on projecting from these comments is usually pretty obvious, so I probably wouldn’t have bothered.
Just put your headphones on and your hoodie up so you can get back to arguing with strangers on the internet, and continue your transit in misery.

It wouldn’t cost you anything not to bother others, especially in situations where they can’t leave. I’m sure your intentions are good but you will be making a lot of people uncomfortable in your attempt to connect with them. There’s better places for that than public transit or a plane. That’s all.

Also doesn’t cost anything to bring some joy into people’s lives.
I think you dramatically overestimate how many people are made uncomfortable due to your own anxieties about it. I also think you’re missing out on little opportunities for joy in your life.
I can keep posting links, but it’s pretty clear you’re not reading them.
There are also plenty of worse ones.

But you won’t know if it will bring them joy or not. But you push ahead, even in situations where people are stuck. It just feels self-serving.
