Talking to strangers in public places increases happiness by introducing variety and novelty into life. Talking to a stranger in the bus queue, or reading an abandoned letter kicking around on the floor could bring a new opportunity and stimulus outside of your normal everyday routine.
And according to Psychology Today this can cause growth of new brain matter and delay the aging in your brain.
