I have a friend who has an issue with speaking to people -- she will enter a room and not say a word to anyone...and then act appalled when she gets bad vibes from others. I have pulled her to the side on more than one occassion to suggest saying hello as all you lose from it is breath...anyhow, I was met with an excuse of "that wasn't how she was raised". In other words, she was taught that saying hello is/was like bringing attention to one's self and that isn't something that you should do.
Honestly, I think it's the most ass backward thing I've ever heard...but when do people stop using excuses for being just plain rude and start acting like they have a bit of sense?
I am of the opinion that even if you weren't taught certain western social practices, growing up and dealing with people (at your job, events, and such) would lend practical experience for implementing these norms.
Am I missing something? Anyone have insights?
