If people are going out of their way to approach you (especially women), then it's probably down to you being attractive or at the very least above average.
Something happened within the last year, either to the general social environment around me or my own demeanor. I used to be able to go out and speak to people, have convos, people would even approach me.
This year has been much different though. When I go out no one wants to talk, except for straight lunatics. At the bar the other night the only guy who wanted to talk went on a tirade about “the Jews” and kept asking if I was a Jew. A couple years ago I could have had a nice conversation with someone who had just sat next to me.
Concerningly, this seems to be a self-reinforcing situation. If everyone willing to have a conversation is a lunatic, of course you wouldn't want to talk to anybody.
Surely a coincidence, but one of the last people I spontaneously socialized with seemed completely coherent and present, yet spent the better part of an hour warning me that jews are building a moon base to control the world from (with the help of Elon Musk of course).
I was left completely flabbergasted. He had a job, a good one, he was somewhat articulate, very friendly, and yet… Fully bought into the Jewish conspiracy, reptilian agenda type stuff. I couldn’t help but wonder if mild schizophrenia was involved.
At any rate, I’m content to keep to myself for longer than usual.
It could also be that the OP possesses traits which are notable and desirable to the right people.
I've barely exchanged a few sentences with someone before and they immediately stick out to me; not because they are attractive physically, but I notice something about their character that is desirable or rare.
On the other hand, attractive women sometimes get harassed. If you are an attractive man, many people will just generally
automatically be nice but also respectful toward you. Then you could end up with a cheery disposition because from your point of view the world is just a friendly, respectful place, and people are even nicer to you (or you could turn into a spoiled jerk, there are lots of paths).
