I try to do something like this for people anywhere and I’ve been doing it for years. I initially started doing this as a result of learning that social interaction, joy, and gratitude would keep me healthy and help me live a super long life. The more I learned about the interaction, the more it gave me joy to know that making others happy and feel seen would make me happy, keep me healthy, and contribute to me having a long life. I try to judge my own energy levels (better at it than I used to be), the environment, the pace and atmosphere of the space, and other various factors before saying something to bring reciprocal joy to both of us.
What started as an obsession about health and longevity at a young age, became a yearning to increase the health, wellbeing, and happiness of everyone around me.
