Do you "people watch?"

I've heard people say that it's their hobby to "people watch." I've never really paid much attention to other people until more recently.

Sometimes I'll see an older couple at a restaurant and they don't talk to each other while they eat. I wonder, are they just comfortable without talking? Or, have they run out of things to say?

Do you ever "people watch?"

People watching is a sport like bird watching I suppose?

Yes, I love watching real-life people. as a kid I was already an (invisible) observer, & honed that hobbie when I met someone who gave it the name 'people-watching'. it's almost as good as watching nature, birds, silly pets 🙂

Of course, I live in Vegas. The best people watching spot outside of Walmart is Fremont Street. We get all kinds of interesting people. There's this man who runs around in a cupid diaper and a speedo guy waiting to pose for pictures for money.

I love people watching.

I like to imagine what people will do next, and it's fun to witness interactions between people that you do not interact with on a daily basis. Although, I do not make time to people watch specifically.

Being introverted it's hard enough just keeping up with my own actions and faux pas' never mind others.

This is a great pastime on the ferries. People either sit and watch and some (like you know who) would go around and see someone interesting and sit down and start asking questions. I didn't need to people watch she did it for me and told me many interesting stories. I lack the charm to ever be able to get away with that.

I love to "people watch". I especially like to do it using my peripheral vision. They tend to be more genuine and less inhibited than if you or others are looking in their general direction. I often times can predict their ultimate actions just based on some snippets of their conversation and a perception of their character. But sometimes people will be people and they totally surprise you!!

On occasions but I prefer to interact, or just take in scenery.

Yes. I like to say it's part of my job.

People watching is one of my favorite sports. Sometimes if I’m with someone who I know and who gets my sense of humor it’s fun to make up stories about people.

Being comfortable not speaking is a gift

I love to people-watch. I do it all the time at my Apartments. Some messed-up stuff goes on in real life and it's more interesting than TV.
