    I do this everyday. It had become something of an experiment to see what types of reactions I get from people. I started doing this a few years ago when I began to notice the energetic attraction I would fell when passing people on the street. It felt very unnatural to make no type of contact. I realized that If animals sniff each others bums, we as more evolved beings should at least be able to smile and say hello.

    I sort of do it because of that, it feels unnatural not to look at the rest of the people i share an space with, it's like i'm ignoring them, doesn't feel right to me. I also started doing it to overcome my shyness and it was a bit hard at first, but now i just have to do it, it's like i got used to it, it comes naturally, and it makes me feel good for some reason.

    I smile whenever I can; if I share my happiness with others, it just might be what they need to brighten up their day.

    I smile at random people a lot. I like being friendly to people... unless they are creepy like the people on the bus, in that case I make like Robert Blake and growl and bark at them.

    theres this security guy who I tell ya, makes your stomach hurt.. and hes weird, like the kind thats on one of those shows like justice files on A&E ...
    well i walked passed him one day and he smiled so yeah, i smiled back even though my gut told me to run away...and now the little prick wont leave me a lone... hes weird, and not like a good weird, im talking about stalk/killer weird... just this morning he waited for me to come in...I mean I was all the way out in the parking lot and stood by the door for 5 minutes for me to come in and sniffed me, yeah, sniffed me...
    that is why i dont talk/smile or anything at strangers....

    No kidding, hes the outside security guy and lets just say i have the urge to start running whenever i get near him... sometimes if i stay late and i go out to my car and hes standing somewhat near it i will walk around the whole parking lot so i dont have to walk near him..haha damn, thats bad... He is really short and just, blech hard to explain...i get this feeling of pure sickness when i see him..haha that sounds so bad but i have talked to other people and they say the same thing...

    Sometimes it's better to err on the side of caution....the alternative is too scary.
