Smiling At Strangers

Add a story, a question, an experience, a thought...

Do you ever get PM’d by people who have nothing to say?

I don’t want to discourage people, but strangers I have no connection with will be like -Hi, what are you doing? - what are you doing now? - what about now? I find small talk on social media so very awkward.

Is anyone else being PM’d by falakata boy? He’s just making strange noises and laughing at himself.

What do y’all think of smilesforall??

Tell Ms Sparkles what makes you ,yourself smile ?

When I genuinely smile...

You can tell I'm missing a tooth. Is that a turnoff?

An Orange, maybe but I'm not from Ulster!

I smile, but not too often when I'm not with my crowd. I see no reason not to be friendly towards strangers, after all, a stranger has the potential of being a friend you haven't met yet! It's true! So many instant chemical hits! Good friends found...

this just reminded me of a game i used to play on the school bus called sweet and sour where we would go to the back of the bus and wave at strangers in their cars and if they waved back they were sweet and if they didn’t they were sour!! honestly...

Received a random gift, very cool! I will not name names, but I want to say thank you to a random person who reminds me of Chihiro. 👍️🤗

Lots find it off putting, I can't think why! But a smile can make a lot of difference to a person and brighten their day, so it's a worthwhile thing.

Actually, I don't. Flat face. If I found some one passing smile at me, I just respond with a gentle bow of my head. Kids are exception!

I try to smile at strangers anyway. You never know how some little smiley thing can turn someone's day around :) Plus if I'm not careful I have a foul resting face if I'm alone in my own thoughts...

So ,they know that I am crazy ,then will stay away from me. People are very dangerous things.

I smile at everyone 😂 Some people smile back whilst others get very awkward and think I’m insane! But I just think it’s a nice thing to do, I prefer it when people smile at me when I’m walking down the street!

I Smile At Strangers

I get smiled back at, so its a win-win!

I Smile At Strangers

Whenever I walk down the street and make eye contact with someone, I always try to give them a smile. You never know, that one small gesture could make somebody’s day

I Smile At Strangers

Feels strange when they don’t smile back :p I don’t get mad or anything, cause I know what it’s like to have a crappy day and not be able to really smile. But I always hope I might make someones day a little better :)
