why is it that no one seems to smile anymore when you are walking down the street. You can smile and say hello and maybe someone will look up at you will a blank face. What happened to hi, hello, how are you, Oh sorry as they push you off the side walk. Why do you think this is, do you smile or say hello,....talk to me.

I personally find that as you go into more densly populated areas less and less people are friendly. It's probably a trust issue because with all the things you hear on the news about murders and rapists nobody wants to say hello anymore. By if you go to a less populated town and you take a walk in the smaller neighborhoods you will see people smile and say hello and such. This is what I find living in Canada, I don't know if it's different in the usa.

hey I'm in Canada now,...LOL but I am normally in NZ,. Must admit the more country you go the more smiles and hellos you get.. I've been in Canada now for a while in the city and find the people are not as friendly as home but like you say, with so many people they are probably thinking oh no that person might be a nutter or something, so yep I hear what you are saying LOL anyway I'm saying hello to you my friend..sebasterbator
