Why do some people love window seats even when they never look out?
People do not always choose places. Sometimes they choose feelings.
The obvious reason to choose a window seat is the view.
Yet many people close the shade and never look outside.
The hidden mechanism is control.
A window seat creates a small territory. Nobody climbs over you from one side. You can lean against the wall, sleep more easily, and decide how much you interact with others.
Humans care deeply about personal space, especially in crowded environments.
People often think they are choosing scenery.
Sometimes they are quietly choosing peace.
