How Come People Only Speak To Me If I’m Exercising?

[bluefortress]

Usually no one speaks to me at events or out and about/if I go for a walk, it’s like I don’t exist (in their defence I prob appear unapproachable)

However if I go for a run or do interval training outdoors people interact with me.
 

For example in the last week whilst running a kid ran alongside me asking questions and told me he wants to jog. 5 people have said ‘keep it up/keep going’. I was sat resting in between intervals and a woman said ‘you look how I feel’. A man said that I had done really good getting up a hill. Many people smile at me. 

How come I’m not approachable when walking, at social events yet I am when running?

Eitherway moral of the story - if any of you feel ignored by society- simply do some exercise outdoors.

dog walkers find the same thing - no dog no talk

Even with a dog I get no talk

Now a puppy - I would, you are right there
