    Default When you make eye contact with strangers walking by do you smile?

    I noticed when I am walking around my school campus and accidentally make eye contact with a stranger either walking by or what not that they tend to smile. I don't know if really only Americans do it or if our if this mannerism is ingrained to our culture but I like it.

    I heard that in Asian countries, smiling at a stranger is considered strange. Anyone know why this is?

    Do you smile when you make eye contacts with strangers?

    I try to either smile, nod my head or say hello. It's fairly normal to do that around here from what I've noticed.

    I give them the "crazy in the mind" look. I only make eye contact with people if I have the feeling they're looking at me.
