Not related to online interactions but IRL i want to be an actual ghost. A creature living in the walls. Burrow a collection of interconnected tunnels to scuttle around in. Live in an underground bunker never to be found again.

I've been considering getting a really remote and lonely job just so I don't have to deal with being seen in my work hours.

Sometimes i daydream about being able to just slip into a pocket dimension where its just me and walk around the world just looking at things with no one else around. Or even just being a ghost would be rly cool. Just float anywhere and look at stuff

Go to Japan. Apparently it is considered rude to look at people so people all go around not looking at each other. You’ll never feel more alone!

??? It is not rude to look at people in Japan. Anymore so than it is elsewhere in the world.

To look people in the eyes

Is it socially acceptable to stare at people in the eyes anywhere? I genuinely don't understand.

Stare? What?

Where I’m from people look at each other and say hi as they pass on the sidewalk.
