I often avoid saying hello or making eye contact. Sometimes I just feel like being in my own world and don't feel like being friendly. I don't owe strangers anything. Just because you value saying hi to every person you meet doesn't mean other people see it the same way.

Get over yourself. You have issues. Do you think the strangers you said hi to are thinking about you right now? I bet they are living their life and thinking about relevant things. Maybe you should too? How about thinking about people you have relationships with? How are those interactions?

More of an educated guess... After seeing this same old rhetoric a few hundred times right here in downtown CD.
Some self proclaimed gorgeous, nice, friendly guy who is constantly belittled or rejected by some stuck up, daddy issue havin, gold digging s***. Can't even hold a door open without them kicking him in the crotch and yelling at him. One thread comes to mind ... "Nice guy" (so he says) says that when he approaches a woman her first reaction ( or shortly into the exchange) will often pull the b/f card.... " I was just being nice, not trying to hit on her".
Ok... Once, but for this guy it seemed to happen more often than not. ( sound familiar)?
I suspect that it was really just once, but citing " multiple" events ( in their mind) gives credence to their position. All, many, a lot... Adjectives used to bolster their argument that the female gender is mostly screwed up. I'm still waiting for the cliche... " nice guys finish last". LOL

Of course, you as a woman, will always side with another woman and blame me for everything lol
You come across as awfully bitter. Maybe that's why people avoid you. You also make a lot of assumptions about what are people are thinking about you. Fact is, most people are just living their lives with little regard for what you may be thinking. So what if there are only 2 other people in the room. You are not the greetings police!

If people ignore you, move on. If they are stuck up, you're certainly not going to change them. Lastly people would need to know you were ignoring them in the first place, otherwise they ain't thinking about you!

They're intimidated by your dashing good looks.

I mean, I'd get shy and nervous around a particularly attractive specimen. I even told my husband that I'd totally get all shy and look, but not look, act nervous, if I saw/met him in person. And not because I'm hideous to look at and fear rejection.

There's no need to be social with strangers in random public places.
