I guess one of mine... I'm naturally shy so often I don't look at others unless they specifically are talking to me, and sometimes even when talking to people I will look away or at least want to look away and have to intentionally make myself look. I can be outgoing and friendly towards others but if I'm already exhausted then it all falls apart. I'm naturally shy. It requires effort to be other than what I am.
Another thing I can't help but do is logically analyze from different angles what people say. Where I live (and I guess I can assume elsewhere) when going on a hike and you see another hiker, walker, jogger, etc you have to say hi; not saying hi (greeting them: smile, nod, or words) is just weird. Sometimes people will say "how are you?" then they run by. Umm.. (I think "am I supposed to answer that and say "how are you" back? Oh wait they are gone already...")
Another thing is the actual phrase "how are you?" How can I respond to that? How am I what? How am I.. in existence? Well God created me...
Typically if I get into the point where I'm thinking about what people are really saying with their words then my mind explodes with all kinds of perspectives (regardless of wether I know exactly what they mean) and it makes it difficult to answer. Usually when a few of my friends ask me how I am I say "I'm alive".
Anyway my point is, I think.. a lot about what I hear. I don't always analyze that phrase and I use it a lot myself. I just never mean "how are you?" to mean "hi"
Sometimes I respond to "how are you?" with hi.. then wonder if that was an awkward way to respond and if I should have said something different.
ok that's it for now
I was thinking about making one like this.. but I always forget to make the threads when I get to a computer.
