Default Do people smile back at you?

I get a lot of smiles back from strangers on a daily basis, I think its because I smile and have a friendly face, how do you do on the smile front?

I get cross if I smile at someone and they can't be bothered to smile back.
I think it depends where you live as to how smiley people are.

Outside of work I tend not to smile at people and if someone smiled at me randomly, I would ignore them, and then worry what they were smiling at.

I have a natural scowl and am more likely to get "cheer up" than a smile. The ones who say that go immediately onto "THE LIST"

I think if someone smiles @ u, u cant help but smile back. Im normally in a massive rush for no apparent reason so I barely notice people like let alone if they are smiling @ me or not.

I actually make a conscious effort to smile more now, people kept thinking I was Polish.

I think Northerners are more friendly. Most people smile and say hi where I live but when I visit my brother down south people look at you as if you are mad if you smile at them

They're probably just blinded by the glare from your skin. You don't have sunshine up north, so it's not something northerners would ever experience.

Yeah I'm always smiling at elderly people whenever I'm out and about around my parents' house as it's quite an elderly residential area (I think my brother and I might still be the youngest people living on the street and we're 22 and 19 respectively) and always get smiles back. I tend to smile at older people more. Or if I'm in Glasgow and on the subway and someone's got a baby on their lap but I think most people do that too.

People don't smile in London on the tube ... even if you stare at them and cross your eyes, you can feel them actively not looking at you
