Seeing people you know but not friends with in public. AWKWARD

Like people that you talk to sometimes but wouldn't really class as friends. What do you do? I find such situations awkward haha

I smile and walk past them
ye I do find it awkward actually lol. Never sure what to do.
If they stop for a quick chat, then why not? If they ignore me, I do the same thing. I don't want to make myself seem like an eager beaver and start conversation that turns awkward quickly, so I wait for them to make the first move otherwise just carry on walking.
Smile if we're both walking but if we're standing around I'll say hi. I'm so unobservant and usually day dreaming though so the chances of me noticing them in the first place are pretty low lol.

But people you speak to like classmates that you dont necessary hang out with for instance. I feel like its rude not to say hey :tongue:
I always do this little wave and smile. Can't be bothered to actually talk to them. :colondollar:

If it's someone I kind of dislike or don't really like talking to I usually just stare straight ahead lol. But it feels so rude.

Just sort of nod my head and say 'you alright' or 'sound mate'. Not really awkward at all tbh :confused:

You sho rude.

Spoiler

Smile, say "Hey, you alright?" Whilst walking past them without waiting for an answer.
Generally a hi or a wave would suffice
