smile at strangers

I accidently fell on a woman on the train and she was upset. so i apolgised and she was still bothered.. so i leand into her face and screamed HEY! SMILE! and smiled widely. it was bissare

I don’t know why but I’ve always smiled at complete strangers, or at least say hi to them or something. I’m a somewhat shy person but for some reason this just doesn’t bother me. There are a lot of people who actually do smile back! It’s true though, males do get the wrong idea almost every single time…but still worth doing! Even if they don’t smile back, at least you know you did your part.

I’ve been doing this lots, and I’m amazed at how few people smile back! Most people look scared, as though I’m about to ask them for something or attack them! Still, I’m making the effort, and for those that smile back, thank you very much! :D

No offense about the title. But I said hi to some guy a few days ago, and he replied with a “Thats what I’m talking about, baby.” So he was talking about exchanging pleasantries? I guess I’ll keep it to a smile :)

Sometimes I even said “hello” or “good day”. But only when there aren’t too many of them.

Smiling at strangers whilst walking is a second nature to me. I do this habitually and very rarely is it reciprocated, unfortunately. And sometimes, males get the wrong idea…

If my smile brightens up at least one person’s day, then it would all be worth it.

I’m gonna give it a try! :)

This one is one of my favourites, and people oftenly respond with a smile back :)

I just do it now and it’s always hard for me to see that other people are as shy as I was when I smile at them. I just want to hug them and say ‘Hey, I don’t bite. I just wanna be friendly!’ Why do we always think that other people want something bad? Perhaps they are just as shy and friendly as we are?!

hmmmmmm i think i do i meen every morning on the bus on the way to school (public bus) i smile at people not a grete big freaky phycotic smile just a hullo! quintacessiousely brittish such as raising ones hat on nodding to someone new ,you dont get it in other countries as much i meen people are perfectly nice all over the world but i feel atleast for now that brittan is often (or can be ) a place of wonterfull warmth and manners
