I asked 25 people the following question: If someone offered to do something nice for you, what would you pick? The large majority answered simply making them supper or taking them to lunch.
My work typically involves merely the residue of my presence and although I am uncomfortable with the performative aspect of the following, I decided to offer to make supper for people I know only slightly. I approached 6 people, showed up at their homes with ingredients in hand and cooked for them. This gesture forced me to overcome my awkward social self and pay attention to time spent in the company of new acquaintances.
