An excerpt from Louis’s AMA:
Okay so I separated these two experiences out from each other. Standing on a street corner accepting a compliment and shaking a hand. that’s one. And taking a picture with a stranger. That’s two. I have ZERO problems with the first and LOTS with the second. And i realized that the inevitability of the second made me shy away from the first.
So, what I do now is this: I refuse to ever take a picture with anyone. I just say no. I don’t do that. BUt I shake their hand and I talk to them for a bit. Because I like that. I can tell this disappoints people for a second but as we talk they feel okay about it. People who just want the picture and don’t want to connect get a little pissed off. But that’s okay. They can’t always have what they want. And I get to say no to a thing I really don’t like, especially that is asked of me a lot. And now with that boundary in place, I feel absolutely no inhibition with folks. I am glad to meet everyone that says hi. EVERYONE. I learn a little about a nice person several times a day. And they are kind to me. And it won’t last. So it’s great.
