every day we have to see a lot of unknown faces when we go out for our office. we dont need to talk with them. but in some cases we need to talk a single sentance with some person. as an example when you travel by bus some time you need to talk with some person about some specific reason. if some one asks you about a location you know, do you answer them in smilly face. do you friendly with every one ? do you present a smilly face when some one talk with you ?

I try to be. If I have a bad day, I prefer to avoid rather than take it out on someone else or accidently behave in a short, clipped, angry, or rude manner.
When I've no choice but to be around people during rough patches, I try my best to minimize my issues. I try my hardest not to cause damage.
Even when it's hard to smile.

Friendly, I guess that depends. Polite, most of the time. When I see a familiar face, I smile at them and it feels good when they smile back. When someone asks for direction, I politely answer them whether or not I know the place that they are looking for. If it is my turn to ask to talk to someone I do not really know, I try to be as polite as possible.

Yes, I am a friendly person. Since I am in a service orientated business I have learned good public relations ethics. Well, even you don't speak a word to a stranger you can always create friendly smile and it will definitely drive that person to you. I always smile to anyone I met. They will return your smile with a friendly smile too. Smile is costless and you will gain more friendship if you start to smile to everyone you meet.

I think I am a friendly person but I don't think I always was. I think that it usually depends on the temperament of the person and the things that are going on in the life of that person. I think since my life has become less stressful, I have become more friendly and it is easier to relate to other people. This has been since I retired and I do like people and that makes it easier to be more friendly. I don't think I pick and choose who I am friendly with but am that way with everyone.

I'm friendly with strangers who talked with me!I believe one try to talk with you must want to be friendly with you too.Of course, except the one attempt to deceive you to buy something.

Hello ivan...
There are people that I instantly get to like, individuals whom I immediately connect with. I guess I am friendly but there are instances that it depends on the approach. I am very approachable, especially when a person needs my help, there had been many instances that I had been asked for directions.
However, we cannot trust everyone, and we also need to be careful. We should know where to draw the line between being approachable and being reckless.
Have a great day!

I try to be courteous with everyone, but I wouldn't say I'm friendly. I think friendly goes beyond being courteous or acting decently toward others. Friendly, to me, says interest.

Hello ivan! I am not actually friendly to everyone. I am only friendly to girls not to guys. When I go out, I usually don't smile. I mean, I don't the guys to make an impression that I like them and it's like triggering them to say, hey come here and invite me for a date.
I travel through bus especially everytime I go home to our hometown. If it's girl who sits beside me, I even made the first move to talk. But if it's a guy, I won't smile and have a strict face so that the guy would be shy to talk to me.

Hmm...I smile back when someone smiles at me. I grew up in the city and no one just smiles, you know? You'd look like a crazy person smiling when no one's there directly.

I have always been friendly to others and I'm sure I will go on with a smilling face to the whole world.When some one talk to mem I will answer kindly because I really lovee the world , the people around me. In our campus, some are unwilling to show kindness to strangers but I really hope that this situation be changed in the near future.

Generally, being friendly to others is an attitude of life. Do to others what you want them to do on you. Be helpful to your friends, colleages and those who are in need. A smiling face indicates a good mood. And when you smile, it is the moment you seem most lovely!

I guess I am friendly w/ everybody even to strangers. I mean am talking to people who greeted or asked me something just to be civil. I'd really like to be friendly all the time.

Of course. What reason do you have not to smile. It will make your day better, and they're day better. But I am the guy at the bus that starts talking to you, with out a specific reason, and with a big smile, so maybe it is just me that thinks being friendly and talking to everyone is normal.

Yes,I always friendly with everyone,because one of my philosophy is:if you don't like this people,just respect him or her,and always be friendly.So I am friendly with everyone.
And you second question is a little difficult to answer,I think it depends on what the condition is,if he doesn't friendly with me,I won't prerent a smilly face whe he talk with me,on the contrary,I do that!
