i could be sitting on a bus with my headphones on and my nose in a magazine and people will still try to strike up a conversation.
people seem to pick me out of a crowd as someone they can talk to.
i don't mind... but there are times when i would like to be left alone.
the funny thing is that I've become incredibly aware of my surroundings because people will ask for directions all the time, and it's nice being able to point them in the right direction.
[QUOTE="PJ24"]Nope, never. In fact I've never seen it happen. I'm suprised that so many people have siad they have people coming up to them :shock:xaos
Not sure about relationship wise, but as a student worker I am often asked for help in Flash. So I must not be too intimidating seeing as people come up to me for help many times a day. Especially when I wear the Mudkip hat. :3
[QUOTE="Hungry_bunny"]Too approachable, strangers come up to me and ask me weird questions all the time >_>xaos
Yeah, same here; when I'm out drinking, I'm a magnet for really drunk and/or crazy people :(...Ugh. Fortunately, I usually get it from sober people. Happens when I'm standing in the train station by myself and sometimes even when I'm sitting on a bench talking to a friend next to me :?
No, not at all apparently. For example, almost nobody will sit next to me in a lecture hall even though often times, the clearly empty seat beside me is the easiest place for them to sit (the empty seat that they end up choosing is in the middle of a crowded aisle). I shower everyday and wear clean clothes so I don't think it's because of body odor or anything of that sort.
Apparently I look too hard-faced to be approached, because I don't walk and smile. I don't think I'm a nasty person, but it has been said I am not approachable.
i am approachable but i get it mostly on the airplane. it really makes me mad because who wants to know that their son just graduated from the 3rd grade like come on!
I used to be really shy and it would show so people would end up leaving me alone. But the more I've been around people, people can see I'm not shy anymore and I get approached a lot. It's fine with me...
Actually a girl asked me at the bus stop today. She looked anxious as the bus was late and she said she needed to be at work. I said the bus is always late and sometimes doesn't come at all and if it doesn't come in the next few minutes walk up to the other one round the corner so you can catch both the 87 and the 88.
I suppose I am since people ask me stuff all the time. I look angry most of the time so I don't know why people ask me stuff. Maybe I'm fun to annoy :/
I try to be, but I can't smile all the time so when I've got my blank face on they tend to leave me alone. Apparently I look angry a lot of the time, but I'm not; I think its just because I don't smile unless I have a reason.
i am STRANGELY approachable :? I have had more people ask me the time, ask for random stuff, ask for car help on the side of the road, ask for rides, etc....all complete strangers. And for some reason, GANGSTERS tend to ask me for rides more than i am comfortable with...to date i think ive given like 3 gangsters rides and i have helped jump start one of their cars. :P I look at it this way though; If a gang war ever breaks out in m town, at least i'll have some friends to watch my back. ;)
I guess I'm approachable. A few people started talking to me in the airport yesterday out of the blue. Some started conversations, some just asked a simple question. I'm not a very intimidating person by any means.
I'm not very approachable in Japan however. Probably because I'm white :P I just need to become even more approachabaler I guess.
Its mixed. Some people find me intimidating for some reason. Some will approach me for almost everything. Some will see that I don't give a **** what they have to say and leave me alone.
I'm friendly, but most of my non-black friends told me that they were afraid of me before they talked to me. I'm 6'6 and black that tends to scare people for some reason:P. And the only thing random people ever say to me in public "Wow, you're tall" or "Do you play basketball"
I don't think I get out enough to test this very much, but usually I'd say I'm not overly approachable. It's rare when a stranger talks to me, probably because I look a little young and lonesome for some reason. :\ I'm always nice though. Even most recently when a creepy-*** guy hassled me at Target. I guess I was too surprised by his creepyness to get mad to his face. That's the thing though. I'd like to be approachable to nice people only but that seems to not be the case. I hope I don't have "creeps welcome" written across my forehead or something.
