Yup. You most likely have no friends.

The friends I do have genuinely make me laugh. I enjoy their company.

smiling mostly comes from the eyes anyway
and since you cant fake your emotions with your eyes, they'll be able to tell how you really feel

Why are people talking to the general population of the gym outside of lifting specific discussion (how many sets left, can I work in, are you using this plate, etc)?
I go to a gym in a non-English speaking country and everyone just does their thing.

That's how people interact with each other you dumb ass?
>how you doin?
>how was your day?
>what's going on?
You know 99% of the time, people don't give a fuck about any of that shit. Being fake is part of socializing. Fact. Now your ability to make it sound genuine is all on you.

I only ask that people i care about tho.
Why would i be friendly to people i don't want anything to do with?
It has nothing to do with mannera or socializing that's just being fake.

You must be fun at reddit meetups. Are you that guy at work who is "too cool" to say good morning to your coworkers or ask how their weekend was? Or do you just not have a bigboy job yet?
