Anything you have to share for the poor's relief.
The poorest seem to always have a care package on hand to share with others worse off around them has been my experience.

You do not like to talk with people at all or just not with strangers? At some point everyone needs to socialize.

I do not like to talk with people at all.

In order to preserve my limited sovereignty and liberty to continue to refuse to interact with others, I must interact with people.

Which is one reason why I don't like interacting with people at all.

Biggest culprit: electronic mass media
Churches shrinking. School class clicks.
Lowered self esteem. Family life deemphasized . Decline of ethics and morality. Fear of crime.

Matthew 24
“Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.
10 At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another.
11 Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many.
12 Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold.

Nice list but we could add some more, like:

It seems like many people especially adults below age 35 usually do not say hello to or make eye contact with strangers.
What do you say to the people you talk to?
even tho an introvert still talk on on one to others
but now many are no longer strangers
such as college age clerks at the drug store where we rent movies

sometimes I just say silly thinks like forgot my list at home and can't remember what am supposed to buy, guess will just walk around till it comes to mind

said above ^ once while renting a movie and noticed another customer nearby; she exited store at same time and asked me if I'd remembered item needed.....lol

sometimes ask how their college classes are going
or compliment someone on their nails/hair/ ring
because I've talked to the college kids now a couple of them tell me stuff now

if I notice someone is yawning/looks especially tired might ask if they get to go home soon

Why don't people talk with strangers more often?
I live in a town of around 50,000 so we really do not have strangers here. People are very friendly. They ALWAYS hold a door for the next person. They always give the pedestrian the right of way. They let you into traffic. Just really friendly considerate people here in this neck of the woods. I could walk up to anyone anywhere and ask for help and they would be glad to do what they could. In other places like Alaska I hear that people there are even more considerate.
