Saunas are sacred shit. It's like a gay bar, if you want to not be seen as a pest you 100% must stop acting like a moid when you enter. And some people just don't want to be spoken to

    In the context of the greenext it would have been being able to sit in silence with a stranger in a leisure setting without needing to make the situation about themself. That's an extreme situation though because sauna.

    Usually it's just reading people to know how far you should take a simple "how's it going?". The best advice that doesn't apply to most people but someone should probably hear is not everything is an opportunity to shoot your shot, not that this is what happened.

    I would bet it would have been fine to talk with someone. It's not ok to hit on them. Obviously you need to read the room for all of it though. Maybe they don't want to chat at all, or maybe they are open to flirting, but if you can't read it well then probably STFU and keep your eyes off others.

    I have a question, if i don't watch the person how do i read the room to understand if they wanna talk? I kinda have problems with such stuff

    (I just wanna say that i never have been in a sauna, i doubt i would talk but i guess that of we are in the same room.with such heat for more than 10 minutes, talking would help enduring)
