So, this may sound fairly selfish, but it really bothers me when I see people I know, and I know they see me, but they don't say anything to me. Even if we make eye contact and they still don't say anything, it is just as bad!
like, I know I'm not to most recognizable person, but if I'm trying to indicate that we know each other, I don't want to be ignored! This happened twice today.
once, I saw an old friend of my editor's while we were at lunch, and though she has a few personal issues to work through, she's a really great person. He told me that they haven't spoken for about three months, and that he stopped making efforts to talk to her. I still wanted to be friendly and say hi, but I get the feeling she was avoiding me as hard as she could. I never did talk to her, but I'm sure if I tried, she wouldn't have responded to me.
the second time was while I was at the football game with my mom. We went to hang out near the band and I saw a few people I knew from when I was in the band. They walked by me several times and not once did they realize I was trying to say hello. I wasn't very loud about it, but I wasn't hard to notice either.
I really don't like it when this happens, but because I get blown off so much, I don't really wave or say anything anymore. I at least smile and make eye contact, and if I don't get a response then I guess oh well.
maybe I'm just not that recognizable. . .
