Smiling/"friendly" people

I don't like when the dentist or hygienist is chatty, because they are breathing and talking into my mouth. Ugh!

WORD ! !!

THATS FUNNY, i agree whole-heartedly w/ the 1st part, the 2nd part is also true ; unless i'm tipsy or high on weed =D

your lucky you dont live in VA, and have to put up w/ total strangers smilin at you in public....WAY the hell annoyin

i got dismissed from a community service assignment b/c i "wasnt smiling" . go figure ! how do you tell you PO something like that ? then i had to get an extension of time so 's i could find another agency willing to accept me....

so far i'm doin ok - but dont smile unless i mean it. unless its like the big boss lady; when she smiles at me; i smile back b/c i dont want to tick her off....but fortunately she doesnt do it too often ! other than that : i either smile naturally, when unprompted but moved by sheer happiness and joy or not at alll. i damn sure dont do it to please anyone..........other than the example above....

If they are a truly jovial person I dont mind but tend to gt suspicious of other whom I know are pestomistic by nature. How ever I try to at lest smile when I walk in the door at work and say good morning even though I smile so little it hurts my face.

I always find smiling and "friendly" people very creepy. I think it comes from being bullied as a child and as the bully would hurt me they were smiling. I soon came to associate smiling as a potential threat and whenever someone would smile in my direction, I would hit them. When asked why I did that I would reply "Because they were smiling!" and I was telling the truth. They would then procede to lecture me on how smiling isn't a threat or think I was lying. No one got it.

I'm always smiling, and for me... I'm usually trying to hide the fact that I'm completely clueless of what is going on.

I'd like to add to what I said earlier - I often find smiles to be creepy.

For some reason this irritates me too. I know it's nice to be friendly, but what's the point in saying hello to people you're not going to see again or you don't have to deal with? You pass someone in the street for, like, less than 2 seconds, then they're out of your life again. What's the point in having to keep speaking?

I don't like walking with my aunt any more, because she always speaks to everyone she passes, by gawping at them first as though she desperately wants their attention, whoever they are. Then when they speak, she says with great confidence, ''hello!'' and I feel totally ignored, all because I didn't look up at them. I find it too exhausting because I have Social Phobia, I can't be bothered to keep having to speak to everyone I pass - unless I know them. My aunt often shows a lot of Aspie traits and she avoids social situations and claims she has Social Phobia too, but she can't have it that bad if she has the emotional energy to keep looking up and smiling to every person that passes.

Oh, it just gets irritating!

Cheerful people do not bother me, but I do hate it when people walk past me with stupid grins on their faces. That irritates me more than anything.
