I find it very satisfying to force people to smile, make small talk and wave at me in my car. I totally understand.

It only took one or two people taking full advantage of my willingness to please to cure me of it. As for greetings:: At my old job there was one particular woman who never acknowledged my greetings. After I got past how incredibly rude I thought she was being, I actually made a point of saying hello to her in the cheeriest of ways. Just to annoy her. I don't know if she was ever annoyed mind you. Towards the end, it didn't matter one bit. I just enjoyed the hell out of it. Yeah, I totally bet she didn't like me! hee. :D I’ve worked through wanting to be liked by everyone.

If your whore-o-meter is not checked on a regular basis, it can give off some very odd signals. Just like gaydar! You have to be wary.

Maybe this old guy is that way too. I think I’m friendly enough, just a little shy but people say I sometimes look unapproachable because I don’t smile a lot. Maybe this old guy is that way too.
