Should you feel disappointed when you say hello to someone and they ignore you unintentionally?
If a person does not respond to me saying hello my first reaction is deduction. Before I decide they are having some kind of emotional reaction to me I check the following:1. Did they in fact hear me?2. Are they distracted by something engaging them that I missed?3. Do they have ear buds in?4. Are they deep in thought?If there is no logical reason why they didn't answer then it becomes more interesting. I would then need to know…Have I offended them previously without realising?Have they simply made an irrational decision not to like me on sight?The second possibility would not concern me if it were true. We all have the right to like and dislike at will. In this case I chalk it up to the natural order of things. I certainly would not be offended.If however it is the first possibility then I need to know this because I care about my reputation and would want to remedy any issues I may have inadvertently caused. So how to deal with this?I would firstly try one more time to say hello in their direct line of sight in a louder voice that they cannot possibly miss. When they respond I can work out from their manner if they were simply distracted and are in fact polite and welcoming g or if they are definitely not being warm toward me. If the first happens then all is good and I would make light humour of how they were in a bubble there !If the second possibility happens then I would probably say something like 'oops… I must have annoyed you at some point? Do I need to apologise for something, I am certain!y sorry if I have'If they refuse to engage at this point then it is time to move on. Already I tried my very best to solve whatever problem seems to have occurred. My integrity is intact. Of course I am more confident than most so this approach won't be right for everyone. You may just choose to move on past without investigation and just be sure to smile whenever you see this person in future. Smile enough and the previous complaint may fade away in their head over time.If it turns out that the person is just emotionally challenged, irrational and this seems to result in ignorance then just move on and be happy that person is not deeper in your life sucking up all your positive energy with their doom and gloom!Stay cheerful my friend and don't let the haters bring you down!Good luck!
Is it rude to say hi when someone's talking to another person?
It's rude to interrupt. But -- you could silentsly give a little wave as you pass by .. or just silently mouth a hi.
GUYS: If a girl likes someone, should she say Hi to the guy whenever she sees him?
Heyyy, just a little question. At work, there's this guy that I have a little thing for.. call it a crush or lust or like... he always looks at me and I do catch him staring sometimes. I feel like I like him back too and we've just talked a couple of times here and there. So, should I say Hey/hello to him when I see him at work? Would GUYS personally like if the girl made the effort to say Hi to them...?? THX :)
Is it rude to ignore someone when they say hi at work? Often, I say hi to people and they flat out ignore me.
Is it rude to ignore someone when they say hi at work? Often I say hi to people & they flat out ignore me?If it’s happening often, and it’s happening with multiple coworkers, then you have been running a little science experiment. You’ve shown the same result, repeated, with different subjects (your coworkers). There could be a lot of factors, including corporate culture and the social upbringing of your coworkers, but the simplest cause,the one you need to consider first of all,is yourself. I have several hypotheses, but you may need to add others:You are not speaking loudly or clearly enough to be understoodYou are speaking at a time when your coworkers are deeply engaged in a taskYou are speaking in a way that doesn’t appear, to your coworkers, to require a response (such as a little wave and a “Hi” on your way past their desks, instead of pausing and saying, “Good morning! How was your weekend?”)To take the scientific experiment metaphor further, you need this project to be peer-reviewed. If you really want to get a response from your coworkers when you say “Hi” to them, you need to get some outside perspective on whether you are interacting appropriately with your coworkers. You can ask a couple of your coworkers, but be prepared to hide hurt feelings and to treat it as a performance review. Maybe you’ll hear that you push too hard too often, or that you fail to pick up on cues that your coworkers don’t have time to talk right now, or that you’ve been walking around with a duck on your head all this time and nobody’s really sure what’s happening so they’re all avoiding making eye contact with you. Or maybe your coworkers will likewise gripe about how nobody has any manners any more. Or maybe there’ll be some completely different response.
Why do random people keep saying hi to me or waving at me?
Maybe you look like someone famous.
I need phone help with boys!!?
if you are young which it sounds as if you are.... we have all been there... that silence on the phone... trying to think of somthing to say...it's terrible... i always found and still do find that the conversations that you have to try and make small talk and think of somthing to say usually the relationship just doesnt go anywere... in other words somtimes two people just dont click.,.. but here is some advice for what to talk about... 1st write of list of things, subjects, or things you want to talk about... keep it with you so when he calls or you call him you have it... dont read off it just use it as reference... one other thing is guys love to hear about themself if they play football, baseball etc... tell him he did a good job, ask him what he likes best about it... and most important ask him somthing about the game .. evenif you know it.. guys love to talk sports.... this is really important ... he will LOVe to talk about sports. other than that tell him some of your intrests. good luck
If you go to a coffee shop, and you see someone you know sitting down, who should say hi first?
I say hello to several people that I don't even know each and every day. It would only take one hand to count the number of times someone didn't smile or respond. People like to be noticed, so if they don't say hello first - assume that they didn't see you or that they're shy (maybe feel bad for not knowing your name) and take the first initiative. This gives you the power to decide how/if you deal with each other in the future. Just go up and say "Hey, strange to see you outside of the gym". This will put the ball in their court. If they don't say anything to you, but just stare, at least you tried and you know that you don't need to make an effort again with this person in the future. They will most likely give you a smile and a rather quick unprepared, maybe uncomfortable answer. That's called "breaking the ice". The next time you go to the gym or see them again at the coffee shop, they may wave or start conversation. You're now part of the less than 1% of the world that can refer to this person as someone you know or an acquaintance. I recall doing this a few times ages ago when I took on a new job that had a gym in the building (working with Canada's National Defense). One person I became a workout partner for 5 years with when their previous partner got sent to a new post and he still remains today what I would refer to as one of my three closest friends. The other was a General (before I knew he was a general) and he respected the fact that I didn't treat him any different than anyone else. I ended up getting invited to his hockey league (in Canada, that's almost like being invited to marry his sister) and I played in the best recreational hockey time slot for the next 10 years while other people had to wait for someone to die first before they had even an opportunity to play at that time. It didn't hurt my career either.Don't worry who's first, take the plunge and just say hello, what's the worst that can happen. If that's the toughest problem you had to face all day, consider yourself a very lucky person!
Why do people I know always look away when I try to say hi?
You might want to say it again. For example, if someone can't hear or see you because you are too far away or in the dark. That could be the reasons they turn away. Or, you flirt in a way, that they don't recognize as flirting. Or, they might feel you saying Hi to them was a bit of a surprised to them. Either way, you might try tapping them on the shoulder to get their attention first.Another example for those who rather not get out of car to say hi, the best thing to do is to get out of the car to say hi. The scariest thing is to have someone drive alongside you to talk to you.You're considered brave when you say hi personally, face to face interactions. But even with that, someone might need time to chew a breath mint first. That could be it, this could be the very reason they turn away from a hi. A fear of opening their lips to release bad breath.
My brother's friends never say hi to me?
ok, well anytime my brother's friends(they're 2 years older than me) come over they never say hi to me. only one of them says hi to me. it gets really annoying because sometimes i say hi and they dont hear me. now, i just gave up and i dont even say hi to them. i always have to pretend they're not there and it bothers me so much. help?
Why do some people never greet first and always wait for others to say hi? Should I greet such people first all the time?
It is impolite to enter an occupied space without greeting those whom are already there. People will arrive sporadically from going to 7–11 or to a party or a bank. When you arrive it will be usually one or 2 persons greeting all not all greeting one.I know how annoying this can be when there is a discomfort forced upon you because someone else is not being polite or even respectful.If this were me, as it has been before, I won’t think twice about greeting someone who failed to follow proper etiquette Until it just becomes ridiculous and then I would have to just walk by you for 2 days and on day 3 I would Ask if they realize what they are doing. Describe it and move forward.
