If you someone you know walks into your zone and doesn't acknowledge or speak to you, do you say something to them about it?

Don't know about an acquaintance, but I'd want a friend to at least wave, say hi or give me a head nod lol It's what I always do.

Communication goes both ways. If they don't say something & I want to then I will. If they don't initiate a conversation, they may be preoccupied - why take offense.

I have been told I am rude because I don't do all the prescribed social amenities with acquaintances. I usually tell them that it is rude to admonish an adult on his manners and I do it in a tone that says, "you wanna see rude?"

Not usually. I know that a lot of people don't recognize others outside of a certain setting, even if you've spoken face to face before.

Not really. If it's that deep, I'll speak to them.

Also, with me I am sometimes hesitant to acknowledge some acquaintances I know from other venues if others are around.

Like if I knew them when they were batshit crazy on a psych unit - do they really want me to go over and say Hi, when they may not want ppl they are with to know how they know me?

Or if it is a guy who was sexually intimate with me or we met at the nude beach - maybe he doesn't want to explain how he knows me.

So, I wait to see if they want to acknowledge me.

Sometimes I'm hoping they haven't seen me.

Don't worry, I won't walk over to you and say "Hey Al, that Lithium still holding you together?"

Normally, it would be me being oblivious to seeing someone. So, I can't be offended when others make the same mistake.

That said, it is crazy awkward to stand around trying to make eye contact when it goes unnoticed.
