People in London are not friendly. Do NOT talk to them.
It was the worst advice my older brother ever gave me
“People in London are not friendly. Do NOT talk to them “
It was the worst travel advice that my brother ever gave me.
It was 2008, and I was the bearded baby in this photo.
I knew it was terrible advice the moment it left his mouth. And yet I still hear it from the mouths of people in this group today.
People are too self-absorbed to care in 2026 (lies)
Starting conversations works in every other part of America except Boston (lies)
The world is too divisive (lies)
My niche is not on social media (lies)
People I work with don’t have personalities (lies)
What you believe about people becomes truth.
My brother talked to no one on the trains in London because he believed that people were not friendly.
I decided to prove him wrong and talk to 3 strangers on my 60-minute commute every single day.
He met nobody.
I made lifelong friends. Had one woman in tears as she showed me the photos of her children she had not seen in years.
I found a business partner.
Had 1-2 amazing dates from being friendly.
Created incredible stories.
Again, my brother. met nobody.
It was the same train, but it took us to very different places.
Your success with using social media depends entirely on your belief or lack of belief in humanity...
What will you choose?
Are you with me, OR are you with my brother?
