Wow. I have not noticed that not-looking-at-each-other thing *at all*. Not in the slightest. To the contrary, I've found people at least as eager to interact or even more so, presumably because they get less of their usual social experiences. This is obviously true within our cohousing community, but I've observed it even at the grocery stores and out and about. In fact, it is more likely for people to unintentionally get *closer *to each other tha 6 feet in their eagerness to connect to other people. You must live in a very different area than we do (Central Massachusetts).
