#i keep accidentally sending out strong unfriendly vibes bc i don’t always realize i’m missing social cues :(

it’s time for LIZZIE’S SOCIAL SKILL OF 2023: this year i learned that when you see someone you know you can wave or smile instead of saying hi if you or the person are already engaged in a conversation! you DO have to acknowledge them if you make eye contact but it doesn’t HAVE to necessarily be verbal. if you don’t make eye contact you are allowed to pretend you didn’t see them until it’s the proper time to say hi. if this was already obvious to you good for you but for me this has been a GAME CHANGER
