Social acknowledge part 1

If something awkward, or not awkward happens, don’t pretend it didn’t. Address it, acknowledge it. I have a problem with people who don’t. I have a problem with people who do otherwise.

When somebody walks towards you from the opposite direction, and there’s eye contact (even if it’s accidental), acknowledge the other person’s presence. Don’t pretend you didn’t see the person there. You know it. He or she knows it. Say hello, give a smile, raise a brow. Is it that difficult? Is your nose far up airborne that you can’t level your ego to a stranger for a brief moment.

You have the intelligence to read this text, possibly even have a decent education that you are somewhat proud of, take pride in, and tell people about from time to time at some point in your life, but you can’t afford basic social intelligence?

Given, that the other person is/might be doing the same thing.

But change will not happen on negative assumptions or passive approaches. Before you save the world, eradicate hardcore poverty, preach for greener pastures or change the government, go for something immediate and frequent. Baby steps.
