Sometimes I feel like I'm being really rude to people, but I never know. When I say hello, it's kind of under my breath but I smile and I wave to whoever said hello to me. Sometimes someone will say hello when I'm out biking and I'm not sure if someone said hello to me or to someone else on the street, so I only turn and smile. I realized this at the supermarket when someone I didn't like too much said hi to me, and I said hi under my breath and gave a little wave. They moved by quickly, so it looked like I was waving over my shoulder. I want to seem less rude, but how? Am I even being rude?
queenbianca2004 answered Friday June 3 2005, 2:25 pm: Its not being rude. Its probly just that hyour shy. theres nothing wrong with that. I mean you dont hae to say hello to everyone you see bc thats just overdramatic. If someone says hey dont be shy and just say hey back bc theres nothing wrong with that. And if you feel like saying hello tosomeone and they dont say it back doesnt mean there rude either. Hope I helped

You give what you believe to be a satsifactory response, and nothing more. Am I right? Cause that's what I do too. [ K3587's advice column | Ask K3587 A Question ]
