    Why Do People Keep Touching Strangers?! | GORP!

    Why do people think it's okay to invade your personal space? Why is it so difficult for some people to mind their own business? And in a world full of negativity, how do we remind ourselves that life can still be pretty incredible? This week on GORP!, Frye and Monica dive into four conversations that are equal parts hilarious, relatable, and surprisingly thoughtful. We discuss personal boundaries, consent, and the everyday interactions that can quickly become uncomfortable when people ignore social cues. We also explore cultural differences, travel experiences, workplace etiquette, and how different perspectives shape the way we interact with the world around us. The conversation shifts toward finding the good in everyday life before wrapping up with a discussion about confidence and the idea of "fake it until you become it." Is confidence something you pretend to have—or something you earn through experience? Topics include: Don't Touch Me Mind Ya Business The World Can Be a Wonderful Place Fake It Until You Become It Personal boundaries Cultural awareness Travel stories Workplace etiquette Positivity Humor and everyday life If you've ever been bumped by a stranger, dealt with an overly curious coworker, experienced culture shock while traveling, or simply needed a reminder that there are still good people in the world, this episode is for you. Thanks for listening to GORP! Follow the show so you never miss a new conversation. linktr.ee/thesadfan
