I tend to be a bit self conscious and used to really keep to myself. I remember I decided to experiment by intentionally looking people in the eye, smiling and nodding or saying hello or some other pleasantry. What I discovered is that MY experience was greatly enhanced by these interactions and most people responded in a very positive way. Previously, my reticence to make human contact was perceived by others as aloofness, when, in fact, it was quite the opposite. I was painfully shy. That was a long time ago, around the turn of the century (remember when the turn of the century meant 1901?!?!?!) and it changed me forever. I still have to think about sometimes, because my nature is to retreat, but the rewards of a kind smile, a wave and openness are their own rewards. Thanks Patrick, for the reminder!
