It's possible to just give a "Hello" and move on without engaging in conversation

not really. someone people keep moving others just keep talking and making corny ass jokes and i fake smile but now im just straight faced

So you just keep walking and carry on with your day. An acknowledgement of other humans that exist on this insignificant planet during the same insignificant time as you isn't a hardship. You're free to just move on after the greeting

just because something isnt difficult doesnt mean its worth doing or rude not to do.

You may think that - I think it's worth acknowledging other humans. I think it's beneficial, even. Absolutely none of us chose to be here or when we'd arrive. I'm not even saying you have to engage in a full conversation - even a head nod would suffice.

I wonder how y'all get to know people in this day and age with lack of social skills. Like were yall raised in barns? It takes two seconds to say hello to someone back and move on about your day. It IS rude. You don't have to stick around, you can stand firm in that boundary but yeah, if someone passing by says hello, yeah I think you're rude if you don't say hello back. And honestly, if this is how you feel, why do you care if you're perceived as rude? Stand in it.

I don't think it would be rude to say "Good Morning" and then get back to whatever youre doing. Especially at work, you could follow up with "Sorry, I don't have time to talk" afterwards.

I give a "how's it going" and keep moving... It's annoying when the other person starts going into their day. I did it to be polite and acknowledge I see you, I don't really care about your day

"How's it going?" Is probably not the way to go. If you're trying to avoid a conversation, I'd consider not asking a question.

Growing up in the North East, it's a common phrase used instead of saying "hello"... That memo didn't make it to the South or Midwest though

Brief nod and smile before turning back to your work, maybe a quick hand gesture, will save you a lifetime of hatred

If someone says hi to you, and you just completely ignore them on purpose, then i would say that is quite clearly and objectively rude, just by definition. If you were trying to explain to an alien what rude meant then this situation would suit quite nicely.

Men being gross doesn't mean bad manners aren't rude. It IS rude to ignore someone if they are being polite and saying hi to you.

by Valuable-Seaweed 1 day ago

they're not being gross. they're just flirting low key and they're old and not attractive to me to be doing all that. i have manners to people i wanna talk to

So basically... you are rude to people you aren't immediate friends with?

by Valuable-Seaweed 1 day ago

no there's people i'm cordial with as well that i like. i notice things and read people easily. fake people, disrespectful people towards others, people who did me wrong, people who flirt that's the only people i avoid workplace or not. they say hello to me and i cannot be fake anymore. i kept saying hi to be nice

It isnt fake to acknowledge someone's existence. It is basic human decency!

Being cordial means saying hi to them

by Valuable-Seaweed 1 day ago

Yeah, let's be real here. Are there a lot of stupid, gross men out there who flirt with pretty much any woman? Yeah. But there are also women who think you're flirting with them if you just smile, say hello, ask them how their weekend was, etc. Just saying: consider that you might be the issue here too.

by ambervon 1 day ago

you're right no doubt but i could tell when someone is flirting and just being nice. when men flirt im not trying to say im a 10 but people are horny and any convo they get they're taking a chance

Every culture has its own norms and things that are perceived as rude. In American culture, it is rude

I genuinely disagree, with exceptions for if it would take a much larger amount of effort than normal to say hi. But if they try to keep saying hi over and over again in a short period of time to initiate a conversation, then I'll agree.

by Anonymous 1 day ago

I say say hi without conversation. Common courtesy. Ignoring people just spreads negativity.

by Emotional-Phrase 1 day ago

This kind of attitude drives me crazy. There is absolutely nothing wrong or bad about being NICE to people.
