As a happy, optimistic person, I am always smiling and friendly
to others. I go out of my way to try to make people feel better
about themselves or greet them. Is it so hard to do in return?
Being at ICC, yes, there are SOME friendly people, but most
people seem pissed off or upset or just plain rude.
How hard is it to say thanks when I open the door for you? No,
just looking at me with deer-in-the-headlight eyes do not mean
thank you. Or if I'm walking into a door and someone pushes me
out of the way, if I don't get a thank you, you just plain suck.
Seriously.
Aren't compliments supposed to be a nice experience? No, you don't
have to compliment me back, but don't just stare at me or roll your
eyes. If anything, I wouldn't be giving a fake compliment, who does
that? Honestly this isn't "Mean Girls" and usually compliments are
sincere.
It's just common courtesy if I ask you questions about yourself,
at least pretend that you are interested in me. How interesting is
a one sided conversation? Not interesting at all! Even if you ask
random, idiotic questions, it's better than nothing!!! Ask me if I like
eggs! It will at least be somewhat more interesting than only talking
about yourself!
If I smile, smile back, it's just makes me feel effing creepy if a smile
isn't returned. It's almost as if I went crazy and you are just observing.
Really, you can't just smile without the teeth? Lol.
Unfortunately seeing these types of people around the school really
are depressing. SMILE! Life is supposed to be fun and exciting!!!

I hear you, Moe. I think people are suspicious when someone smiles at them and says, "Hello." On the other hand, sometimes you could add an amazing spark to someone's dull existence. You keep the faith, girl. It's their loss.
ReplyDeleteMoe, do you like eggs? I know where you're coming from- I've actually gotten stuck in a door after trying to hold it for someone who just ended up scowling at me and walking away.... Darn heavy doors.. lol Keep it up though! You never know when you'll actually find someone polite or just make their day!
