By not acknowledging strangers you begin to develop an unapproachable barrier. This barrier is not only noticed by strangers, but it will also noticed by friends and coworkers. The more unapproachable you become the less enjoyable your life will be, but don't worry it's never too late to change. There is an easy way to break free from your unapproachable barrier and that is simply by acknowledging strangers with eye contact, a genuine smile, and a friendly hello.
