Don’t Have the Bandwidth

No matter how extroverted we may be, there will always be moments when we don’t feel like talking to anyone. Whether it’s a bad day or you’re just feeling more introspective, sometimes we just don’t have the mental bandwidth to engage in small talk with strangers. This guy was having one of those days.

Instead of faking it and politely making small talk, he was honest with the cashier and told them he just didn’t have the energy to talk. That’s totally fine! He politely set his boundary, and we respect that. It’s always better to be honest, rather than exhaust yourself more in situations like this.
