I think that people should frown more. Next time I see a stranger I'm going to pucker up and really let'em have it. Maybe say something like "Hey, you, over there. Bah! Humbug!!"

Lol, don't forget the Combination Lip Curl and Nose Flair

You made me laugh. Don't go showing up at my house or anything, though.

That should make people like the OP feel warmly "right at home"!
Southern women in NC have a creepy way of smiling and saying things that come across completely strange to people from the north or from south FL. I understand what the OP is saying. They will be completely over the top but it will be a front. I suggest THEY get counseling, not the OP. She is perfectly reasonable to assume an over-the-top smile like the women in NC engage in is an invitation to come say hi.
Oh puhleeeeeeze!
The assumption that the lady at church gave her a big hug and said how great it is to her - and was actually inviting her to her home is really bizarre!
The lady gave her a hug and showed friendliness to her as a way of encouraging her to continue coming to church! I grew up with folks doing this regularly as a way to make it understood that it was a welcoming environment of support. Anyone who misinterprets this as more than "we want you to be part of our church family" is - well - socially backward.
Well, for those who think smiling and being polite is an invitation to show up unannounced at someone's house . . . it sure would nip that impulse in the bud, so to speak.
