Literally nothing has changed in the past century other than the variety of idle tasks one can keep in their pocket. People chose to not engage then exactly the same as they do now.
Moreover, I’m not sure if being on social media is something “enjoyable” anymore, and it’s more like smoking tobacco where it becomes necessary but is not enjoyed.
But when I'm home, on my way from home to the gym, I take the same route every day, and it can get boring sometimes
I'm also terrible at keeping my phone charged, so sometimes I end up alone with my thoughts anyway
you say this like it's a negative thing :( have you tried it?
I am in England – It is considered very odd to talk to strangers on a train or bus
Mind you most of the talk seems to be along the lines of 'GWR couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery' these days.
