Yes, I think that without even realizing it people are caught up in a lot of turmoil from the news on T.V. to their jobs and family. Somedays I don't even watch the news because it's depressing. At times I'm surprised at how many people will smile out in public. It sure enlightens you're day when they do. Sometimes I smile at people and they just give me a sober look. I think it's a sign of the times we're living in. Too much on their plate maybe.

Yes I have, particularly in large cities. However I live in a small town (about 15,000 people) and often go to the larger town about 20 minutes away to shop (100,000 people). Both places still have generally nice people. I find that older people are typically nicer than younger ones.

Yes, from the beginning but some are trying to be more friendlier. When you get older the more unfriendly the people are. It also depends where you work at or live cause some places are better than others. depends wheres your crowded at but yes I have notice.

Yes; here in the USA it is because after nearly eight years of GWB, we are going crazy. Worst state of the economy in the history of the USA, and that affects everyone. No pressure or stress like that of no money and no job...

I do notice that. I think people are coming more selfish, depending on their age. People want what is best for them and will do what they need to, to make sure it happens. Not to generalize but that is how some people are.

I live in Atlanta and there is so much diversity here. Most foreigners tell me that Americans are always walking around being too serious, or too frustrated at life.

Actually, I notice the opposite...people are smiling a lot and are cheerful and say hello to strangers (me) so maybe you are projecting dark vibes that are keeping people at bay...

YOU SHOULD TRY WORKNG IN RETAIL. PEOPLE ARE NASTY, RUDE AND CRUEL. MOST ARE OLD AND CONSTANTLY IN A HURRY TO GO NO WHERE. IF YOU SMILE AT THEM THEY LOOK AT YOU LIKE YOU HAVE 3 HEADS. I GUESS THEY FEEL ENTITLED. WHO KNOWS.
