Good for you for going out and talking to strangers. The point of the experiment was not that it was going to be a success or a failure - it was for you to be in a deliberately uncomfortable situation, and to just notice (in a mindfulness "noticing" sort of way) your feelings, and to see that there were no "real" negative consequences. You keep talking about these "negative consequences" like they're real things, things you can touch, like a physical wound. Not that feelings and opinions are not real, but they're not "true." And the feelings and thoughts that you are choosing (yes, choosing) to have about your interactions with strangers are not serving you very well. That's all I was trying to convey.
