I love watching people, just getting on with their lives.
Last night I was transfixed by a couple so into each other that the rest of the world seemed not to exist for them.
Do you make up stories about the people you are observing? |

Yeah, all the time. I like characters. So people with interesting personalities intrigue me, I like character-driven novels, and I like to think about what mundane things average people do on a regular basis. NYC was perfect for this. Subway rides were fascinating.  |

I have whole lives flood my mind just based on the window, it's curtains/blinds etc. and whether you can see anything.

"Most people seem to be eyes down on their phones nowadays. I do wonder."
I find stories about them too. Some people look so intense when they are on their phone and I imagine the text argument going on.

I love people watching. Sit in a cafe with a coffee and just peruse everyone going past. Usually see a couple rowing and then a loved up pair. I'm always surprised that some people do not talk at all whilst having coffee. They sit in silence or on their phones. |

Pavement cafe life is great....constant snippets of peoples lives, yet knowing you never know their story  |

At least they were talking to each other and not on their phones...! Some couples are together physically but in separate worlds. So sad to see.  |

"I look at people and wonder what they worry about and what problems they have in their lives. "
Most people are probably wondering what to have for tea! |

Yep. I love people watching.
Sometimes I sit on the bench having lunch or even a coffee outdoors and watch people walk by, carrying on with their busy lives.
I like to try and guess what they are up to or where they are going.
One thing I noticed is no one hardly ever smiles.

This is where it's useful to have a prop like a book or magazine and then you can pretend it was something funny there.
