The whole idea is a privacy minefield, so it would have to be very carefully designed and implemented, of course making it opt-in. But still, should we even pursue this idea?

So that, for example, even if I met someone just briefly, they can still later see the contact information that I am willing to provide.

Wouldn’t that make it much easier to connect with people who live close to you?

Are there any relevant projects or ideas that already exist?

    I’m actually overly sensitive to perceiving cues from other people, so I get constant false signals all the time and it stresses me the hell out! I try so very hard not to assume what other people are thinking, but I am so so so sensitive to even the slightest signs that I blow things way out of proportion.

    Like, a typical person talks to a stranger and see’s “oh they’re busy, I’ll talk to them later”

    I talk to a stranger and see “oh they hate me I guess I’ll go die lol”

    And it doesn’t matter that I know it isn’t real! I’ll just spend the rest of the day beating myself up for bothering them, even as I run around in circles in my own head arguing with myself that I’m being ridiculous. Ugh. Just thinking about this has me stressed lol
