As I was clocking out of my job last summer, this lady walks up to me and says. "hey, why don't u smile?" I laughed a little bit and thencontinued to clock out. She goes up to my other coworker and says "Look he's smiling, why can't you" I'm like alright now, she isstarting to reach. As I start to walk out, she comes closer and goes "so smile you bonehead, is that hard?" I'm standing there like this *@++$says one more thing, I'm going off. I walked out the store, and she continued to call me a bonehead. Telling the story, gets me mad. How to you tellsomeone to smile, you have never met before smh.

I thought anti-social was a type of behavior where one has no morals. I didn't know it meant not socializing with people also.
A lot of times I just have nothing important to contribute to the conversation so I just keep quiet. I also like listening instead of speaking a lot of times,but people often mistake this as me just being a quiet person.

Also when people I've met like once or twice, tell me I'm concieted, I'm just a quiet dude around strangers. If I don't have anything that willimprove the convo, I'll stay quiet. I talk more around my friends.

OP - I think the issue is that while you're being polite, you're not putting forth the extra effort to her FAMILY and FRIENDS.. these are peopleimportant in HER life. Just being polite is treating them like strangers.
It's not enough to be polite.
the greater issue though is this:

True. I'm the type to agree with a lot of what was said in this threa. But I've put myself out there more and more (gradually) in random situations forno apparent reason other than this. I always felt if I didn't know how to get around social situations I'd be just missing out on some potentialopportunities.
I stil prefer to be the guy who's not "social" enough or rude though.

Im quiet but I dont get harassed alot about
it. I usually have too much info on what the
topic at hand is, or not kno too much, so I
just choose to not say anything. Also doesnt
help that I get all, if not most of my info off
here, which would just make the convo wierder

I'm like this around people I don't know or first meet. Those people tend to think I don't talk or I'm "anti-social", whichcouldn't be further from the truth. I'm a people person and I'm very approachable. If I don't know you, or don't want to know you,that's how I'm gonna be.
There are plenty of people who thought I was an $+! the first time they met me. Like, I don't know how you got that from me not talkin'

not by anybody close, but to strangers.
security in the dorms stay askin me "why dont u talk or smile?"
i be like the only times i see yall is when i pass by the door, what the heck do u expect me to say and to be laughin at?
3 people i dont know so far have came up to me and asked me "are u okay?"
for somebody who dont say much, i find it weird that people want to know so much about me.

im kinda like this...
but im just realising that you have to go out your way with some people, even if you dont want to. i mean is chatting bout some trivial #*!% really thattaxing?? like you might be cool not talking but you probably making other people feel awkward in a situation like that...
i used to be all about doin me and me only....now i realised it aint about that.

If she doesnt like then dont chill with her and her friends simple as that. If she knows you dont talk much then she shouldnt try to get you to chill with herfriends, not that you said any of that im just including that.
