Do you smile at strangers?

I will smile with everybody whom smile with me too but i don't like to speak with the strangers if it is not necessary.

We can smile at strangers with respect to the place and time. We cannot smile at a person we encounter when we feel smiling at him will make some bad impression about us in his mind. If we see a person regularly when we are going to office or somewhere, we can smile softly provided he is decent and not suspicious in any way.

Quite often when out walking if a passer by makes eye contact with me I will smile and wish them a good day. 9 out of 10 times I get a smile and the same response back. Takes no time at all to pass on a smile and usually that smile is passed on again and again and again.

I smile at everyone. Especially when I am in a good mood. Like this morning its friday and I am happy for the end of the week so I am going to smile. I am going to show my good mood. I notice when I smile as well others tend to smile. But when your in a bad mood and your showing it people tend to be affected by it and I have noticed it both in my moods and others.

I suppose it would depend on the way they smiled. If they smiled with crazed eyes, I would probably think they were a very strange or weird person. But if the smile seems slight and natural, then I wouldn't neccessarily think they were crazy. I have actually received smiles of strangers, and my immediate reaction is to smile back. So for me at least, a smile is contagious. I think it is the emotions behind the smile that effects our reaction.
