What made you lost interest in socializing while solo traveling?

  1. I don't trust everyone I meet.

  2. People can have bad intentions.

  3. I'm exhausted rehearsing and having a script.

  4. It's fleeting, we meet and the next day go on.

  5. It's different if they're locals, if I'm soloing - I go out of my way to socialize and mingle with locals, pick up a few words and if I have a good vocabulary or fluency, I go with this.

  6. I don't like chating with other travellers or such, they can use you and such, for information, advice, or such for their own things - it's one thing to exchange places to go, restaraunts and such but I travel to get away from daily drivel, not to hear the same from another country that's similar.

  7. Many solo travellers are running away from something and such, I'm always the one that is bored, and financially "ok" granted you can't judge people based on their appearances but for different places dresssing the part is important, the type of gear you have and just general chats - I don't want to really socialize to a complete foreigner group in a bar and because I'm also a foreigner be associated with them.

  8. Depends on location, but you can solo slow travel for months in a specific place - Tokyo is fun for me, I'm fluent in the language and my face is obviously not Japanese. travellers, tourists, etc will scan the crowd and pick me out to chat in a language that I probably know - and then feel like I have to help them. Many a time at Train stations like Shinjuku, which can be confusing, tourists would spot me and ask for directions and I'm like eh - everything is highly documented and even in English. If it's simple I'd point and say there and read the situation but it is annoying, at bars and such if there's to much of a foreign crowd I'd leave as it most likely isn't my scene - everyone is really impressed at someone that can converse and mingle in several languages and it is exhausting. People expect you to be their friend or share social media network contacts out of it and I don't want to keep up with strangers. I get they want to connect but I really don't.

  9. Age thing, when I was younger, I chatted and associated with everyone, after a decade or two, it just fades, it isn't exciting to alwasy meet people and talk about nothing. I enjoying knowing where to go, and being able to have quality conversation with people I like.

  10. Strangers don't owe you a thing. :)
