[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It’s the DC area. People here don’t have basic social intelligence.[/b] It’s one of the things that make daily interactions here so unpleasant. As if saying hello or chatting for 2 minutes while at your kid’s school is just SO annoying and taxing that you can’t even bring yourself to do it. No one is trying to be your BFF or social climb by asking how your kid likes their teacher. So I’ll continue saying hi when I see you and I’ll comment on the traffic or whatever while we’re standing next to each other at the game this weekend watching our kids play on the same team because I like a world where people exchange pleasantries.

It’s this. Truly successful people are outgoing and engaging. Your typical CEO, elected official, senior person in a company etc would not act like this. Your average DC government worker / cog in the wheel will.

I grew up in a wealthy successful family and it was drilled into me to make eye contact, never snub someone, engage etc. One big rule is to never let someone know if you dislike them. Everyone should think you like them.

Whenever people act like you describe you should just assume they weren’t raised better. They likely didn’t have successful parents and/or aren’t successful themselves.
