Its fun and easy! 9 out of 10 people will smile back at you! If not, don’t even worry about it! Its amazing how many conversatiions you can have with other people!

This will be hard for me. 2 months ago

I am the type of person that is annoyed if strangers strike up a conversation with me. Why? because im too busy to hear it. That is a horrible attitude to have. Im not very friendly and i realize that its a flaw. I am a very loyal and giving friend, but it takes time to earn my trust.

But if you smile at ppl some will smile back, and the best part is when somebody smiles at you first. I really like this one I havent been able to put to much input on this one due to other stuff going on in my life but I cant wait to do it!!

i’m usually pretty good at this, but my main problem is that i get really irritated when people don’t smile back. moreso to people in the neighborhood that i see everyday and they just never make the effort to smile back even once.

I smile at everyone!!! 11 months ago

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



I forgot that guys are perverts 13 months ago

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 :)
