[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an introvert. I don't actively talk to people that I don't know unless I have to. It has nothing to do with being or not being friendly. If you start a conversation, I will talk to you but it's unlikely that I will start one with a stranger.[/quote]

+1 Hello is fine, but also it is rude of stranger to just walk up and try to engage someone in conversation. For all you know, they are silently practicing a speech for a big presentation they have in an hour, or memorizing lines for a stage audition, or trying to come up with the eulogy for a dearly departed, or mediating or praying. When someone is lost in their own thoughts, do not interrupt with small talk. It's not like you invited them to the bus top for a social visit. They are already immersed in their day. Say hello and if that doesn't lead to an opening to converse, politely mind your own business and don't fall for the temptation to think ill of the person. You have no idea what's on their minds (and they have no social obligation to share).[/quote]

LOL.  Okay.  So dramatic! [/quote]
