Ignoring friends on the street.
77% Normal
12 Comments

So I noticed lately that I whenever I see someone on the street that I sort of know, or just met, or if I haven't seen them in awhile, or even just a good friend, that I tend to avoid them. I can walk right past someone and I just look the other way, even though I know they are right there. Is that normal?
Do you think it's normal?

I'm the same XD so I think it's normal. For me it's just because it feels awkward.

we all want to be approached and recognized but we fear our own potential anonymity and the embarrassment of going unrecognized. SO we beat them to the proverbial chase.

I'm veryy conscious of when I see people in the street haha I really did think it was just me, but apparently not. I just tend to ignore them until they get closer, and then I just smile or wave at them, otherwise i get friends asking me why I was ignoring them LOL it's terrible.

Yeah, I'd say pretty normal, but the more you greet people the more liked you'll be...

I avoid people from high school so yeah your normal.

All the people that you probably want to talk too you still keep in touch them probably.

I do the same thing because I hate talking to people when there is nothing to talk about so it's always the same thing going through the motions. Hi how are you? Good. That's great, good to see you. Blah Blah Blah.

I so often forget people's names that it's become a reflex to avoid them even when I do remember their name. Only with aquantances of course, not really good friends.
