April Prompt #7
7) Do you smile at strangers? Do they smile back? Do you smile back at people who smile at you first? Why or why not?

Ahhh....interesting....Well, I guess my answer would be...it depends.....LoL

If I am depressed or down feeling, I try to not even go out of the house but if I have to I will walk with my head down normally and not really make contact with anyone...and if I do and they smile I of course smile back but it is not MY smile...it is my "I'm down but gonna smile anyway" smile lol

Now..if I am UP and in a good mood and feeling good I will smile and even make small talk with people...I am someone who when I am UP I can talk to anyone even though it may make me nervous or anxious...it is ok because my good feeling balances it our for me better. Like when I go to see my psych doctor or my therapist and I am UP...I always chat with this lady at the front desk there...we always joke around with each other when I am in a good mood....and when I am down she knows because I will check in and go to waiting room...if I am up I will chat and joke with her and we always laugh...

I used to run my own business for almost 4 years about 15 years ago....I sold adult toys, lotions, creams and all that...basically I sold sex toys and products for the bedroom...I would book parties and go to these women's houses and stand in front of a room of women and do my demo and I was and am a hell of a salesperson.....I was great at talking to a room full of strangers...sometimes I would do college parties and there would be close to 100 women there.....and back then my mental issues were there but no where near like they are now...so I COULD handle working and being around a lot of people and selling something as private as I was. I was booked 6 months in advance and I was making great money.....I stopped after almost 4 years because of many reasons, but I loved it when I did it.

My point is that when I am UP....I can and will smile, chat and be just a friendly person...I will actually make it a point to do something nice to at least one person a day, smile, open a door, whatever....I feel if everyone in the world would do ONE nice thing like that a day..the world would be a nicer place.
