Process Post: Reflect and comment on your stranger encounter. How did it differ from your online interactions? So as a salesmen of gym memberships and personal training I interact with different strangers every shift. It’s my job to assist people in finding whats best suitable for them, a customer came in looking for just the standard regular membership and I asked them a multitude of questions turned out they were a student at SFU as well. They were just looking for a cheap membership close to home, this student was paying off student loans to get an engineering degree so they needed the most affordable option possible. Although we had some things in common, I honestly would’ve never spoke to this person if I didn’t have too just because I tend to keep to myself. But this guy was hilarious, even though he was a high level academic we shared some common interests in video games, and the type of content we watch. It made me realize although people are different, we all have commonalities that can tie us together, and just like my boss taught me in training, you can always keep a conversation and relate to someone if you keep asking questions. Cheers everyone
