Why do strangers smile at me? Whenever I'm in public, other people, when they notice that I see them, give me a smile. Does this happen to everyone or just me? What does it mean? Am I supposed to smile back at them?

They're just acknowledging that your eyes met, in a friendly way. I think it's mostly instinctual.
You can smile back or just look away, it doesn't really mean anything. It happens to everyone, unless you're a visible weirdo I guess.

>>231474>instinctualThe fuck? I have to awkwardly force it every single time. It only comes naturally when I see my friends. Y'know, because I like them and enjoy spending time with them.

>>231496You're probably just not super extroverted? The type of person who smiles at strangers probably is, and it comes naturally for them.
