    I sometimes walk on the streets and I am amazed at the expressions people have on their faces. Some people have such a hateful expression that you would be afraid to be in the dark alone with them. I am a friendly person and will reach out to anyone if need be. I am not over-friendly due to the fact that I am an introvert by nature. What about you my friend?

    Nope. I hate friendly people. It makes me feel awkward, but it also makes me feel pretty and noticed. Both of which I don't feel too often. I just find that way too often "friendly" people are the ones that are fake and backstab you.

    I'm a friendly person. My sisters are always telling me to stop being so friendly because in the future I might get hurt by people. But, I can't it's my nature that I'm friendly, but I'll try my best to limit myself from being too friendly.

    Yea I get the "people's faces on the street" thing. But you don't expect people to be smiling and cheerful also in an otherwise most likely lackluster day of work and family responsibilities. It doesn't mean they have any hate, just not happy. What percentage of Americans are on anti-depressants as of late? The number will astound you.

    And yea I am a friendly guy but my face on the street is pretty stone faced. If you approach me I will greet you nicely though.

    I believe that I'm a very friendly person. I sometimes have serious facial expressions, and I may look angry at times, but that's just me. I love to talk with people, even total strangers, and I treat everyone with the most respect that I can give them. I could never be a mean person, I'm too nice. :)

    I tend to see a lot of rude and ill-mannered people around. I would always have a problem trying to say hi to them like I did something wrong to them. I don't try to mess with anyone but I never liked talking to people. I always never liked the way they would talk back to me.

    I used to be...then i realized people were not all i assumed them to be, being friendly put me in worst-prone scenarios..i don't trust easily anymore as i would when i was friendly and am more overly cautious about and around people and my surroundings :(

    :D I was going to first answer this by saying "No, I'm mean as a caged bull, now get out of my face!" with a smiley icon... but I figured someone would take me seriously and jump on me, so I'll tell you what I was *going* to do instead of doing it. hehe

    To answer your question, I've often said that I'm totally friendly and extremely easy to get along with *until* someone backs me in a corner or purposely sets out to badger me. Then I can get a tad.. annoyed. :rolleyes: I have to assume that that's what most people are like.

    Oh, and those expressions on people you mentioned... I have been noticing that more and more over the last few years. My daughter often points it out, too. She says things like "That dude should have stayed in bed this morning!"

    I believe that I am a friendly person. It is hard to remain friendly in Alabama with people acting so angry all of the time. I suppose keeping a friendly composure can be difficult at times.
