Choosing to run in complete silence without music, podcasts, or even an audiobook, Tyler Young has been officially classified as a psychopath by local authorities.
As if raw-dogging the silence wasn’t damning enough evidence, Tyler greets pedestrians with a wave and a “hello” rather than keep to himself. So awkward.
Instead of looking away from an approaching runner, he boldly makes friendly eye contact. Clueless fella doesn’t know smiling at strangers is deeply frowned upon. Women assume he’s a sexual predator, and men assume he’s gay…which somehow still makes him a sexual predator.
Believe it or not, he reportedly prefers to “live in the moment” and “get totally immersed in his environment” in lieu of “drowning it all out” with earbuds. Very bizarre.
Basking in mother nature, Tyler savors the sounds of birds singing, wind whistling through trees, and rustling of leaves over the boisterous ramblings of a deranged podcast host or questionable playlists packed with problematic artists. Total hippie.
Running bare-eared isn’t Tyler’s only faux pas. His controversial behavior extends off the roads, too. Apparently, he enjoys making friendly conversation with service workers rather than pretending to be on a call. What a chump.
It must be difficult for Tyler to fit into society without conforming to traditional social mores established in the 2020’s. You’d almost feel bad for him if he weren’t such a freak.
