"Do u Give a Smile on the People Outside even you do not Know them at All"

I smile at strangers, it is the last part of kindness we can express to others. This society has become so selfish and self centered that everyone in it is the only person that matters to 'himself'. I see a woman as I walk the busy malls or stores, I smile and sometimes say hello. Most times they return the kind gesture and it seemingly makes them happy. Why? Again this society is so self driven that no one stops to really enjoy anything. People are invisible to one another. Stop and smile, say hello, hold the door open for the person behind you...does it hurt that much to be kind? The fact someone has to put thought into something that should be natural, is sad and speaks volumes of where this society and world as a whole is headed. Someone remarked 'no people may think I am crazy." So? You seriously worry about what others think? You have to be young for that mind set.

Oh really? oh well here in my country I think it really depends on the people you are smiling with, if some psycho or maniacs well aye they would also think that you like them, but I do smile top people who stares at me out of curiosity, you see I have a 5 month old baby (the one in my avatar) and I carry him using a ring sling, people here are not used to seeing those kind of baby carriers and most often than not they would stare at me, and I just smile.

It depends on my mood and who is the person who is staring at me. At times there are guys who looks at me with sweet faces and I know they do not have any other intentions than just to be polite and exchange smiles. I think I know about it when I look at their faces, we can differentiate who are the flirting ones and who are just being friendly. I will smile back if someone smiles but most of the time when the face staring at me is not smiling at all, I would just drift my eyes elsewhere and pretend to ignore his existence near me. That is how I do it.

Yes why not, I don't see anything wrong with giving a smile to strangers. Smiles are free and set anybody in a good mood. For me smiling means that the person is being nice to you. © ronaldinu 2008

I have smiled at people I have never met before. It's not all the time, but occasionally it has happened. I smile at people I don't know, because I feel like doing it, for no particular reason.

In America I have always been accustomed to smiling at everyone you make eye contact with, if you don't smile it may be a bit awkward or rude, though not all the time- it's basically at the discretion of the people. Since I work in retail I have to smile to each person I see, so now that I do that I find myself smiling at everyone outside of work as well. If I ever go to Kuwait I will make sure to remember the smiling rules there hehe, I don't want to draw attention that is not wanted haha. Happy mylotting and have a great day or night!

I always like to carry a smile on my face. Sometimes when I see strangers, I just give them a mild smile. In my country, not all people will smile at strangers. Some people will also think you are insane when you suddenly smile at them. But some will return a smile to you too. I studied in Australia last time, I like the people there who always smile to others. Many of them just greet you "morning", "good day" when they see you walking on the street. They are just very friendly and helpful. I like this kind of environment.

I normally don't smile at strangers, but would smile back if some one smiles at me or will smile at some one who will not be offended by my smile

Hello iyah10, I am a weird person. I don't smile a lot but I laugh a lot whenever I am surrounded by family and close friends. And for strangers, I do smile at them if it happens that they are looking at me smiling when I look at them. But most of the time, I seldom look at other people whenever I am alone outside.

I have done so at times.. But, I really dislike doing this, because, if it is a man they will think that I am interested in him and that I would want to hook up with him. When it is not nothing like that at all. But, I do smile to others. I just don't have a smile to give if there is nothing to smile about. I smile to be friendly. And who knows? I may just have made their day by smiling at them.. They may have needed to see a smile.. It probably made them feel happier.

hi iya.long time no see hehehe!yes i do that everyday in germany since they greet me so i greet them back with a nice smile.

Hello iyah10 I smile at people most of the time because I am happy most of the time and it sometimes make someone else happy to see someone else smile!

it happens in quite a few places. here in my place i really dont feel like giving a smile to any one but here each people will tell you hello if they dont even know you and sometimes smile also and it is common here and even we do it. but it is not that you have to it and it is just a polite greeting towards the people so it is common and we dont mind it. i know in few of the places it is not healthy like in your place and also in india it is the same. but here it is not at all harmfull and fine. but we just sometimes do it or else just mind our work and go on.

you know who to smile at and who not, instinct,your mind lets you read people on their face, expression,way they dress,and the kindness in their eyes.You always smile at clients or customers though but thats common sense and everyone should do it.People are getting tooo easy in the workplace concerning proffessionalism etc. I you feel you need to smile at someone go ahead !!Yo might just brighten up yours and someone elses day !

I do not smile at strangers unless it is a child. I usually smile at children who look at me...even if I do not know them. Since I grew up in Kuwait, I know what the scenario there is. But I think it's the same in India too. I've never seen anyone smiling at strangers here.

yes sometimes if im in the good mood. but i do greet and smile with people especially in our neighborhood. Or if im in a bar or in a resto.

I will reply anybody with a smile if they smile at me. Due to I have poor face recognition, I can always forget how people look if I only meeting them once. Therefore there will be time I thought the person is stranger but the person is actually someone I have met before. For not to disappoint people, I will always smile in return so that the person will not feel like an idiot.

you are absolutely rite Iyah.. when you smile to a stranger they will think that you like them.... and its kinda irritating so to be safe enough....DONT smile to stranger....hehehhe Happy mylotting

Smile is contageous. If it bothers you, then don't look straight at people's eyes. Just be passive while you are walking. if you are in a situation wherein talking and smiling at someone is unavoidable, then do so, it won't hurt to be kind.

I don't know,if I fill good,maybe.
