You are not a bother!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Often the biggest issue we do is we think we are bothering or troubling others. No! Your injecting fun excitement into their life! \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Second, just practice. Whenever you walk by a stranger, just wave your hand at them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think the critical issue here is that we are somehow shy and afraid to acknowledge the existence of others?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ef\u00bf\u00bcExperiment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I am shocked, we could see somebody from a very very far distance. I do an experiment, for the people I already know, I always throw up the peace sign at them, and they almost always universally way back at me, even if they are half a mile away! \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think to experiment and look closely at somebody, from a distance is a good idea, because often the biggest issue that we do is that we don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t acknowledge their existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what do you do if you acknowledge the existence of somebody, let us say your cowardly neighbor, and they never acknowledge your existence, and pretend to hide from you? I say keep saying hi to them, 1000\u00c3\u20141000 — the Jesus way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
