I love to sit alone in a cafe - reading. Before smartphones I was reading newspapers or books. Now I read on my phone or tablet. While there, I don’t want to talk to anyone, I just want to sit and read quietly.

I can count the number of impromptu conversations I had at a cafe on one hand. That just doesn't seem to be a thing these days.
Honestly it feels kind of rude for people to just walk up and talk to you while you are obviously trying to focus on reading something.
Which is a bit tragic for someone like me who lives in a place where I hardly know anyone and is desperate to talk to the other people sitting alone in the cafe
