nikka these are my co-workers not some random folks on the streets, its awkward as hell for me to walk past someone every day and never acknowledge their existence. I smile when I nod my head and keep walking.
Seriously who goes around smiling all day u retarded

:russ: I don't care if it's loud or quiet. You start smiling without saying something at people they think you on some demonic level shyt.

I understand what you mean @Bay Area. With strangers or people in passing, if they don't acknowledge me as I'm walking towards them I don't bother doing it. There are times when I want to say hi or smile, but they look so uncomfortable as we get closer and start they look down at their phone or whatever lol. Older people usually will smile and say hello back though.

If its someone I see a lot I will make an effort to acknowledge them first if I have no problem with them, because it can create imaginary issues sometimes. For example that person may think you dont like them and while that may not be true on your end, by you acknowledging them anyway it clears up any confusion so the ball is in their court. I find that in those situations, its better to say hello instead of just smiling at them since people can hear you speak to them, you know?

nikka a smile is the same as a head nod in the context of walking past someone. That picture you posted is exposing your level of awkwardness in this scenario. You dont scrunch up your face like Dave Chapelle just told you a joke its just a subtle "hello" type of smile.

Yeah I just moved to the north and it's just so confusing. People will stare you in the eye the entire time they are walking by and keep a straight face. It's like, why the hell are you looking at me if you don't want to smile and speak. I'm a little frightened about what this region will turn me into because now when people do it I've started giving them the :stopitslime:

True, i've always thought looking at a person was a precursor to words being spoken, how you gonna look at me dead in the eye and keep it moving :why:
