When I was in a big city for decades I didn't expect it, but love the TV village I'm in because so many people like to say hello. In my new northern summer home (125,000 population) I find there's some people who choose not to acknowledge my boyfriend and I when we are on a walk which feels so weird. What's your experience? Is what our parents teach us "don't speak to strangers" continue into adulthood for some of you, or do you prefer saying hello whenever you can?
i usually give a quick nod or Ill be waving all day while in the golf cart, walking pth etc. ive gotten a glare when they missed the nod. Too bad, buddy. Im out for my exercise. I made the attempt and you missed it. Go home and be miserable!!
