Sometimes I like to go out and run the trails that are near my house. It's nice, I usually go in the morning when no one is on the trail and typically it's a quiet pleasing trip through the woods. This morning while I was out I came around a corner and scared the crapola out of two gals who were coming up the trail the opposite direction. Like, they did the whole jump and yell thing and to be fair I could understand. It was a blind corner and by the time they saw me I was basically right on top of them, just some dude wearing a black sweatshirt with the hood up breathing heavily and running. I laugh a little and wave hi as I go to pass them. Then for some reason one of the women, apologizing for yelling, says "Sorry but we're all alone out here."

As I continued on I get to thinking, well yeah, of course you're all alone out here, we all are. Then I start to realize that if indeed I was some kind of crazy woods murderer running down the trail looking to sate the voice in my head chanting KILL KILL KILL then wouldn't telling me that they were all alone be a silly thing to do? Like, if someone was actually predatoring around the forest why in sweet gently caress would you tell them you are all alone. I mean, it seems like it'd make more sense to tell someone that you are part of a larger group or something. I don't know. Maybe like imply that you have a gun or something?

Discuss.

It's entirely normal to ask yourself this.

It's a socially awkward situation that you became aware of and reflected on.
I'll bet the runner who said that to you, at some point, thought about this brief moment and went 'pfft .. The hell did I say that for?'

The thing is... That's ALL it is. Hanging onto it is a bit much, should you let yourself, op.

... Like this. ... So don't.

One time I walked into a Subway and there was a small 16 year old girl working the whole place by herself. I asked her if she was the only one there and she said yes.

I told her in the future that she should probably tell whoever that there’s definitely other people here in the back.

Did you then wink at her? Why did you ask that question in the first place?

I don't even wear a shirt when I run. My body attains a thin film of water that I use to evade any predators I may encounter on my run, such as snakes or fat people who tell me to put on a shirt

there's always a falsely intimate acquaintanceship/friendship between walkers and joggers on park trails ("hi") that doesn't seem to obtain anywhere else and that i find slightly weird. there's a pseudo-confessionalism to the op's encounter--a divulging of the self--indulged in by both parties, that seems of a piece with this.

e: the false friendliness is almost certainly to disguise and/or assuage the essential reality, which is that strangers are most dangerous when you are out in the wilderness. people are more open and communicative in these circumstances to gauge and draw out who they're dealing with. but this might or might not be a good general strategy.
