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?
If you're ignoring them, they can't be you friend. Just an associate. In that case...you're an asshole. You won't talk to someone you kinda knew, but you would talk to a complete stranger no problem? Well damn...
People are gonna talk about you, and your going
have less friends. just think of the consequences in what you're doing.
I do the same thing! It's totally normal, sometimes I just don't wanna talk to people and have some alone time!
I would understand if it was someone that's annoying/drama-queen/gossip-queen/fake or something of the dislike..then yeah, it's normal and I would run for the hills too.
If it's someone that's cool and real then why not just walk by and say 'hi, how's it going?', then after they have their say just say bye with a smile and walk away.
Haha i am the same. Talk abt akward. It's liek should i stop and chat or give one of those "heyyy how are ya" kind of hello's while walking away LOL ughh.
hey how u doin, what you been up to, oh realy?, weathers shit isnt it, anyway gotta go, eh meet a.. friend. awkward conversations with people you dont realy know are horrible, this happens to me in pubs and clubs so i guess its normal
Yes it's normal. I do this too.. it's just kind of a reaction I can't explain.
lol ive even pretended not to remember people i went to senior school with when they stop me in the street to say hi, i never really knew why i did this but i guess johnson1122 is probably right just cant be bothered with going through the motions...
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.
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 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.
Yeah, I'd say pretty normal, but the more you greet people the more liked you'll be...
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.

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 do the same thing......LOL
I thought I was the only person that did that!
I'm the same XD so I think it's normal. For me it's just because it feels awkward.
