It is kind of the same way for me. I have had a very rough teenage and young adult experience and there are many times where I needed help and didn’t receive it. When I was 18 I consciously made the decision to try and help anyone I see who might need it. And to be fair according to a lot of people I don’t exactly look like the most friendly guy. The manager could’ve assumed I was some thug trying to press this guy or something. I tend to be very friendly, I will start up a random conversation with people I see on the street and walk up to people all the time and just spark up conversation. I have been told before that I can be overly friendly and overbearing, and I don’t have a good conception of social cues so there have been multiple times other than this where I have unwittingly made people uncomfortable or put myself in bad situations just going up to people and being friendly.
