Dear Amy: I live in a very quiet neighborhood and chat regularly with a few of my neighbors. Otherwise, I’m an introvert. I have been accused of being a snob on plenty of occasions.
I hope “Perplexed” continues to greet everyone. This person is making the world a better place. And I’ll try harder myself, just for having read the letter.Dear Amy: I make that same observation all the time about people under the age of 50 in my safe suburban neighborhood.
My theory is that we raised our children to be so worried about stranger abductions that they reflexively avoid strangers to this day.Dear Friendly: Many readers observed that this is a longer-term consequence of “stranger danger.” Dear Amy: The other day, my wife and I were walking on the sidewalk and met a group of three high school kids.However, just after they passed us, we overheard one boy say to one girl, “Why did they talk to us?”– Also From SuburbiaDear Amy: One Sunday I was riding my bike far out on a bike path, towing my toddler behind me, when I got a flat tire.There was a definite age graduation in the bikers who passed us. 40/50-year-olds stopped and made sure we were OK.
Dear Amy: I am 34 and I have noticed that people of all ages both wave and don’t wave. It has NOTHING to do with age.– MillennialDear Amy: I remember my own Mom, born in 1922 and having since passed away, telling me, “I smile and say ‘Hello,’ if they don’t smile back I just say, ‘the hell with them.”Dear Miss You: Mom: Tender-hearted with a tough crust. I’m smiling, too.
