so Hoth is that kind of thing cool? does it make you more dominant or superior? does it make you look more cool or mature or something? why do you do it? should everyone who is cool do this?
if someone says hi to me I don't go out of my way to say hi back but I at least nod or I look at them, and kinda put on an easy going face. I try not to look all serious and shit. Sometimes I wonder why they say hi to me though.. and it may make me look suspicious..

I know what you mean. I would feel hurt if I said hello to someone and they didn't say anything back, knowing that they acknowledged my "hello". I'm very sensitive to things like this, I feel if someone is rude to me it's my fault or that there is something wrong with me. When someone is nice and friendly I feel more at ease with myself and more confident. I try to smile and say hello to people as often as I can, I just feel it's a kind thing to do. That's just my opinion, though.

I do it because of social phobia. Maybe you haven't heard of the condition. It freezes me up so I can't respond to friendly people, and I usually end up trying to pretend they don't exist so that the panic will go away.

Then you'll be the reason social phobics stay indoors. Just had someone recently make a snide comment about me for not being able to respond to their greeting.
Why not let people live instead of demanding they suffer for your sake? Do you believe you should be insulted and shouted at in your face for everything you don't do the way other people would like you to? Is it against the law to mind my own business and not be a happy-go-lucky extrovert?
These people are doing you no harm whatsoever. Have the courtesy to respect their privacy and let them go on their way.

Yeah I HATE it when people do that. I used to do this sometimes, then someone must have done it to me or something, but I realized how unbelievably annoying it was when someone does this to you!!! I never did it again after that, because I didn't want to look totally stupid. Even though it's really uncomfortable I'll still fake saying hi back if someone says it to me first, or atleast wave or something if I don't feel like speaking.

When they do that and you know they don't have SA or any other disorder preventing them from doing so, that's just another reason to ditch them {if this is a continuing pattern}. I myself happen to do it at times because I simply freak out at times, especially if it happens in a rush and I'm not comfortable with the person doing it. Especially if it's a girl, too^^.

what i hate is when someone says "how are you?" and i respond "good/fine/etc, how are you?" and they say nothing back. all that tells me is they didn't care to hear a response from me in the first place. so now, when someone says "how are you?" as their greeting, i just say "hi" and keep on walking.

I guess I don't have to take it too offensively but I sure do feel stupid when in front of others. I mean I feel so embarrassed and "heh another one to affirm my lonliness".
But yea though sometimes Im not too happy so when someone tells me "how are you" i dont say anything back because maybe I dont have anything nice to say about how I am.

People are like complex living prisms - they react differently to different kinds of light and everyone interacts differently with the world, which forms its variety and makes it such a great place for exploration and learning. Light is life, they are nothing without light, but some of them cannot quickly change and reposition according to it. Others don't know why they should do it and to appreciate light, they firstly need to play with it or even miss it. This is all part of the evolution.

I get really embarrassed when i wave to people, and they don't see me and don't wave back, because i feel like I'm waving to know one or something
And yea, i don't wave or talk to people i don't know... so i don't really get ignored (that often) ._.

When this happens to me I usually just think "Well f-
you, too." Then I try not to worry about it too much.
Not returning a friendly greeting isn't as bad as when they choose to ignore me when I'm in the middle of a sentence. That just tells me that they couldn't care less about what I'm saying, and that they lack the decency to tell me that they don't care. Not to mention it's quite rude. And that pisses me off.

yeh this does happen from time to time, often the person is quite arrogant and is also used to controlling a social environment or group situation and its as if they are filtering the people they'd rather respond to, like just say it was a best friend or a person they were fond of, they'd probably respond to them straight away, often they are taller in height with a mountain of ego. but its just rude and anti-social of them to not respond, they are consumed by their own world.

I always hated when at times I would ask someone "how are you?", and they would respond with this stupid statement..."I'm here". What the hell does that mean? I'm there too. Either say "fine, good, lousy, etc", Fortunately, I haven't heard this in a long time. I guess it was one of those "in" things to say. It was stupid!
Someone responding to it by saying "I'm here" basically means they must be doing okay since they haven't died yet... I've been known to respond that way when I'm going through a particularly rough or stressful time. It's kind of a quick way to let people know you're having a rough time without really having to get into details or ranting/venting, which can get tedious.
