Do you find making eye contact with people that you walk past/who are walking past you is awkward?

It is to me.
Or maybe it's just the people and the rude looks most give.

Not with most people, just a few people. If someone has been rude to me in the past, I try to avoid eye contact with them, or if a guy seems to be coming on to me, or being inappropriate in some way. Also, I try to avoid eye contact with panhandlers, though usually when I find out what they want it's too late, we've already made eye contact. And then I feel rude and uncomfortable when I ignore them and walk away.

But for the most part no, I just smile and nod.

@TeresaRudolph71 I don't walk anywhere, i see pandlers at red lights. They point at their sign, I wave and roll up window lol

@iamnikki Ah, yes, that's just one more motivation for me to get my license. Of course, parking isn't very good downtown where I live. But it would still be worth it, if only for that reason.
