Hello Everyone! Welcome To My Blog. 

I didn’t expect it to go this way.

Recently, I went on a one-day trip with my friends — and this is what happened when we decided to take a break and have fun at the same time.

It was supposed to be just a fun game — a silly 2-minute challenge during our trip. The rule? Ask as many strangers as you can for selfies… but only if they’re wearing your favorite color. Easy to say, not so easy to do — especially when you’re shy and unsure if people will even say yes.

But what happened next?

It completely flipped my expectations.

Strangers didn’t just say yes — they said it with smiles.

And here’s the strange part: they said yes to me… but not to my friends.

Why? That’s what I’ve been thinking about ever since.

How We Played the 2-Minute Selfie Game

All of us were tired and decided to rest for a while. We sat in a garden nearby and thought, “Let’s not stop the fun.”

So, we came up with a small game — something that would push us out of our comfort zones. There were 7 of us, and we sat in a circle. We rotated a pen, and whoever it pointed to had to perform the challenge. We did this twice — first to pick the player and then to choose the opponent.

This time, the pen pointed at me and another girl.

The rules were simple: we had 2 minutes to take as many selfies as possible with strangers wearing our favorite color.

My favorite color is white, so I set off with my phone, looking for tourists in white outfits. It was a big place, so finding people wasn’t difficult.

My opponent picked black. Once we were ready, the timer started.

To be honest, I thought I’d barely get 2–3 selfies. I assumed people would be uncomfortable being approached by a stranger. Personally, if a stranger asked me for a selfie, I wouldn’t say yes so easily either.

But I explained the challenge to people — that my friends had given me this dare to collect selfies from strangers in white outfits.

And, and, and… by the end of the 2 minutes, I was stunned, surprised, and honestly — so happy. I approached 9 people. And not one of them said no. All 9 of them agreed to take selfies with me — not just politely, but with big smiles on their faces. Each person I met was so sweet and kind.

This Part Left Me Wondering Why

I felt normal when people said yes — I assumed my friends would have the same experience. But something unexpected happened that left me wondering.

Two more of my friends played — one chose pink, and the other chose blue. They each got around 3–5 selfies. My opponent got 5.

When the 2 minutes were up, we returned to the circle and counted our selfies.

I had the most selfies.

Later, they told me they also approached a lot of people — and did it confidently — but many people refused to click selfies with them.

This made me feel happy, surprised, and curious.

Why did strangers say yes to me and not my friends?

Why Strangers Said Yes to Me and Not My Friends: A 2-Minute Social Experiment

1. Looks Matter — More Than We Think

I won’t sugarcoat it — that day, I looked my best. My outfit was clean, my hair was set, and I carried myself confidently. I could feel people noticing. It made me realize how much appearance can affect how others respond to us, especially at first glance. It may not be everything, but it definitely plays a part.

Some people say looks don’t matter — but whether we admit it or not, they do.

Here, I’m not talking about physical beauty. I’m talking about how you present yourself — your hygiene, the way you dress, and the neatness of your appearance. I wasn’t wearing anything expensive or branded. It was just a simple, basic outfit.

But it was clean. It was put-together. And I felt good in it.

How you look is how you feel — and it’s also how you make others feel around you.

2. Aura Is Real — and It Matters Too

I used to see people talking about “aura” online, and I thought it was just another word for confidence.

But that day, I finally understood it.

Aura is your energy — the vibe people feel around you. It’s shaped by how you look, how you move, your body language, and the small things you don’t even realize you’re doing.

It’s not just about confidence or appearance — it’s about presence.

I wasn’t nervous or overthinking. I wasn’t trying too hard. I was just calm and enjoying the challenge. And I think people could sense that energy. That’s what drew them in.

3. Some People Are Kinder Than We Think

When I started, I didn’t expect people to be this kind. Not even one person rejected me.

Every person I approached said yes — warmly, kindly, and without hesitation.

It reminded me that there are still many kind people out there. Sometimes, we just need to give them a chance to show it.

4. A Smiling Face Works Even for an Introvert

I didn’t plan a strategy. I just smiled and asked. And that smile? It did half the work.

One thing I noticed is that my friends weren’t consistent with their expressions — some smiled, some didn’t, and some looked unsure. But I remember smiling the same way, every time, with the same excitement.

This taught me something powerful:

A genuine smile can break the ice, even if you’re shy. It’s the best way to approach anyone.

5. If You Ask, You Might Just Get It

This whole thing started as a fun game. But this 2-minute social experiment taught me something deep.

Most of us don’t get what we want because we don’t even ask.

I simply walked up and asked for selfies — and most people said yes.

It’s not always about others rejecting us. Sometimes, the only thing stopping us is our own fear of rejection. We overthink the outcome and don’t even try.

But the truth is — everyone gets rejected. Some stop after one or two rejections. Others don’t. And those are the ones who move forward.

💬 Just Before I End…

This whole experience may have started as a casual game with friends, but it turned into something that taught me a lot — not just about social confidence, but also about myself.

I didn’t win because of luck. I won because of how I looked, how I felt, and how I approached others — with warmth, a calm presence, and a smile.

From how you dress to the energy you bring, everything leaves a mark.

So next time you think strangers aren’t kind, or that you’ll be rejected — remember this little social experiment.

Sometimes, all it takes is a smile, some calm energy, and the courage to ask.

You never know how many beautiful “yeses” are waiting for you.

This selfie challenge showed me that self-confidence and how neat and polished you appear can greatly impact strangers’ reactions. When you feel good about yourself, it reflects outwardly, encouraging positive responses.
