Solipsism
Have you ever been on a subway, or any other shared space with strangers, and started to wonder what that person next to you is thinking? On the few occasions I've had the chance to do so, I noticed a handful are talking with friends but most rarely make eye contact with one another - they're absorbed in a newspaper, a smart phone, listening to music, or just staring without seeing. It's almost like riding an empty train.
