Here's my Touchy-Feely Tip of the Week:
Smile at strangers like you're happy to see them.
This is useful for several reasons...
1) It establishes a connection, however brief, between you and another person, which can be helpful when you're feeling sad or lonely.
2) Supposedly, even just the act of smiling can release endorphins, which make you feel good. (Or maybe it's actually serotonin? Crack cocaine? I don't really know. Just trust me, your brain oozes some kinda feel-good shit.)
3) Usually if you smile at someone, even if it's for no reason, they'll smile back at you. Which usually makes me feel like a rock star. Suddenly, the whole world is beaming at you for no reason. Hell yes, here I come, the girl that strangers smile at. The Pedestrian Whisperer, they call me.
4) Most people look more attractive when they're smiling, so this strategy has the added benefit of occasionally leading to spontaneous sex with strangers on sidewalks. Don't say I didn't warn you.
