virock,

I live alone and work from home so I’m happy :)

I can see the appeal of this in some ways, but I hope there are also two-person benches in the same area because when I’m, for example, out with my daughter and we both want to sit down for a minute, it’s nice not to have to yell to talk to each other.

Or spread your arms if you are alone

Sometimes it’s really better to have your own bench.

or anti homeless space

ChillDude69,

That’s what I thought. IMHO, hostile architecture is the physical-world equivalent of a lot of the policies that led us to flee Reddit, Twitter, etc.

Pluckerpluck,

My first thought. You could put up three 2 person benches there without too much trouble. It’d still look fine with spaces between so people can sit alone.

Why does this make me sad? I ironically do actually prefer seating alone but something about this doesn’t feel right

TiKa444,

Maybe you prefer to block a second seat, when you sit on a two person bank. ^^

fastandcurious,

I actually think that it has more to do with the fact that i prefer to sit alone but i don’t straight up want to make sure that i don’t speak to any stranger ever again

But then again i don’t like too much socializing, ig my brain just doesn’t know what it wants

Acters,

You can just walk up to them and talk, but since they are sitting in one of these chairs, they likely will want a brief conversation and be left alone. Also, socializing in other places like a bar or in a park is not outlawed. Do try to be friendly and courteous. The best way to start a conversation is by introducing yourself. Then, hop into what you wanted to talk about. Maybe even try to start with a topic that can transition to your final goal. In the end, there is an intention behind every social interaction, and it can either be casual or formal. Maybe that is what you are desiring, for a known intention/goal to connect with others.

Too much space between them.

TiKa444,

Perhaps they are afraid of sitting next to someone from Sweden who eats Surströming.

ChillDude69,

Gotta back off further than that, yo.
