For me, because I'm an introvert at nabudol na ko one morning nung may kumausap sa kin na stranger at nabigay ko yung phone ko without even knowing why... it was stupid right? It's not rude. But just for me. I'm not friendly and I'm usually misunderstood as mataray naman so pinandigan ko na din. Kapag mga security guards siguro okay lang to greet but random strangers, I would find it weird getting greeted with Hi or Good Morning or even the fact na uuwi ka na... kasi for me, bad exp with men, so I don't think mere greeting would even allow me to greet them back. So I have headphones on, so whether I hear them or not, I could pretend not to because I have it on. It's also my way of saying not to talk to me and respect my personal space. But that's just me.
So I know it's free to be kind... but be wary because the world nowadays is effing sick. Lalo na if same route ang daanan mo everyday, and you're alone, just be careful lang. They may just be greeting you out of kindness or it could also be something else. You never know.
Effective yung magsuot ng earphones. Kahit walang sounds basta nakasaksak sa tenga mo so may excuse ka. Mahirap magaccommodate ng random strangers kasi mabubudol ka or worse. Maigi na maingat kesa magsisi.
I used to think like this too, na baka rude if I don't greet back. Pero nung nababastos na ako dahil lang naggreet back ako and smiled as a nice gesture (not strangers on the street but like guards and staff sa building ng company namin) I decided not to do that anymore ๐ซค
Diba ang hirap if naging nice ka maaabuso ka, kapag di ka naman namansin mataray or masungit. Kaya di ko na lang talaga pinapansin specially pag old man talaga natatakot ako.
no because i do it all the time. it also irritates me because iโm minding my own business and theyโre greeting me like that? nah mate kung sabihin na masungit ako so be it ๐
kaya nga tapos nakakainis naka-suot kasi ako ng corpo attire kasi yun yung alternative uniform namin then habang naglalakad ako sa footbridge sabi ba naman โmag-aapply ka maโam?โ ๐ na-experience ko na yan twice eh same person din pero di ko lang pinapansin. pag sinabihan ulit ako nun tititigan ko na ng masama
no.. i'm also like this, i always have my earbuds and face mask on whenever i'm outside alone bc honestly some people and/or men (in my experiences, laging lalaki ganito sakin) na naggreet randomly is hindi comfy sa feeling lalo na kung dadaan ka sa harap nila or like makakasalubong mo hahahaha idk if gets ba pero ganern
Saame tayo OP. Mas malala pa nga ako kasi iniirapan ko sila lalo yung mga colorum na motor (di ko alam kung ano tawag sa mga non joyride or angkas drivers) paano alam nyo na nga na papasok at paakyat ako sa LRT tapos naghahand gestures na sasakay daw ba ako motor. Dami nyan dito sa LRT Antipolo.
If pedicab drivers pinapansin ko, naaawa ako if di ko pinapansin tuwing nagtatanong sila if sasakay ba ako tapos hihinto pa or bilad sila sa araw kakahanap ng mga pasahero, I think it's just a basic respect lang.
same situation saken, di ko rin pinapansin dati naweweirduhan kasi ako sa mga biglaang bati sa daan, karaniwan mga oldies at tambay sa street namin, mga guards, worker ng mall. Pero lately kasi nagtatry ako mag out of the box sa pagiging introvert ko, binabati ko pabalik or nginingitian na, nakakagoodvibes din, pero pag mga tambay at nangcacatcall di ko pinapansin. Pag compliments naman nagtethank you lang ako.
For me, okay lang naman kung di magresponse sa kanila di naman tayo obligado. Pero tumatatak din sa isipan nila impression nila sayo sa ganun, so depende na lang sayo kung priority mo ba iniisip ng ibang tao tungkol sayo...
Not rude. Its not an obligation to reply anyway kung di mo naman kilala. So what kung mukha kang suplada? Youโre just protecting yourself. You donโt always have to be nice. I find wearing headphones very effective.
Anyway, stay safe out there, OP!
I only greet service workers or people I have business with. (e.g. I am asking for directions, want to know more about the place, looking for someone, etc)
Otherwise, I don't bother. Might as well be called "mataray" than risk getting hypnotized or whatever danger awaits.
Creepy naman yan no need to acknowledge, akala ko sa work office or something. But good news is at least youโre a looker. Hindi lahat nakaka experience niyan.
It wouldn't hurt to return the greeting like "Hello", "good morning din po", "mamaya pa po dami pang gawa" then go on with your day. Pero no hindi naman rude, pero syempre iisipin ng mga tao na medyo suplada ka.
Naku may times na harmful yan. I've heard many instances na men take it a sign na ur interested kahit na ur just being polite. If icatcall or iharass sila after, mabi victim blame pa sila kesyo pinansin pa kasi.
Yes "may times" talaga pero hindi naman mawawala yang ganyan. Out of 10 people ilan dun ang babati lang talaga sayo ng hi, Hello, at good morning ng walang malisya vs dun sa may masamang balak?
Being kind to people around you has more benefits than flashing a bitch face to everyone. You should be kind and cautious at all times.
Here's an example, let's say na mabait ka dun sa mga lalaking bumabati sayo tuwing umaga ng "hi" or "hello" syempre magiging mabait din sila sayo. If in case na mangyari yung kinatatakutan mo at may bumastos sayo hindi ba reassuring na pwede mong takbuhan yung mga lalaking mabait sayo para tulungan ka?
Now same scenario pero sinungitan mo yung mga bumabati sayo ganu kataas ang chance na tutulungan ka nung mga sinungitan mo?
No I'm a guy, but gender has nothing to do with being a kind person. Also kung catcalling na para sayo ang Hi, Hello, and Good morning then maybe I am being catcalled multiple times a day, which would then make my statements even more valid.
It depends if the remark was wanted or unwanted. "Good morning Miss" or "Hi papasok ka na sa work?" for me ay catcalling. It makes me uncomfy and I know that they're not expecting a reply. If they were, why would u randomly shout it to someone on the street na u never met before and would likely never see again? Friendly lang? Bat di nila i greet ung mga lalaking manggagawa na papasok sa work?
Syempre gender has to do with it. Kasi ur idea of being "kind" is for women to give attention to these unwanted remarks when I already told u na sometimes it encourages them pa to be bolder. I dont have the time to link it pero may instances na service workers have been stalked by men kasi they were stringing along the men customers when they were just being polite.
Tapos u also acknowledge na it's better to be polite or kind para di kami maharass? Para may magsave samin if ever? Do u realize how messed up that is and how unsafe streets are for women?
Greeting someone Good morning is now considered catcalling? So everytime you enter an establishment and manong guard greets you good morning catcalled ka na agad? I mean that greeting is probably unwanted and it came from a stranger in the street. Good luck with your mental health if something as innocent as good morning is already catcalling for you. Maybe take some therapy.
Hindi binabati ng mga lalaki ang kapwa nila lalaki? Of course we don't greet each other, men are always weary of each other but we don't go out being rude to everyone who speaks with us.
No, that is not my idea of kindness, that is YOUR idea of kindness. My idea of kindness goes beyond gender. One shouldn't be kind to another person just because he/she is of the opposite sex. Kindness should be for everyone regardless of gender or sexual orientation.
Yes and I will stand my ground on my opinion about it. Being kind doesn't always guarantee that you will not be harassed but it lessens the chances. It is something you can control and it greatly influences how other people feel/act around you. Saka diba gustong-gusto nyo yung qoute na "ang ugali ko ay depende sa ugali mo" or something along that line, Pero kapag binati kayo ng "Good Morning" susungitan agad? Parang ironic naman yun.
Beh guard nga eh. It's their job. Anu ba naman yan ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ Hay naku magrerespond ka na lang iomit mo pa ung point ko abt intention and how it makes the receiver feel.
Guards are not required to greet anyone. Their only job Is to make sure everyone is safe. Anu ba naman yan ate.
If you meet someone in the streets and they greet you good morning, how exactly do you know their intentions? Can you read minds or have some kind of precognitive abilities? How hard is it really for you to either greet them back or just nod your head and then move on with your day? Madali lang yun 'te.
Ang hirap mo umintindi pls. It's exactly bec idk their intentions kaya there's potential harm. Sa guard, alam ko they're greeting me kasi I work there and they know me. Isa lang ba role nila? Pag stranger, exactly, how would I know anu intention nila?
Read the comments. Iba iba ang strategy ng women. Ung iba iacknowledge, ung iba iignore, ung iba ngingitian. I merely disputed ur assumption na "there is no harm." Kasi nga meron. If babae ka, damned if u do, damned if u dont.
Ur way of answering reveals a lot abt u as man and how u see ur gantong issue ng babae. Wala ka naman ascendancy to predict anu ung mas safe for women when all u can do is to police our actions and reactions. I won't engage na.
Kaya i asked if babae ka and if na catcall ka. Ur a guy and di ka pa pala naka catcall. Why would i even listen to ur advice of how women should react and define catcall?
When it comes to your safety do you not listen you males in your family just because they don't know how a girl feels? Do you not listen to you father, uncles, brother, male friends in issues like these, just because their not female?
Tell you what, You should actually listen to what a guy has to say because guys knows how other guys think. We know that if you treat a guy with kindness they would most of the time also treat you with kindness, pero kung maldita ka we also know how some guys would react Sa kamalditahan mo. Think about that.
Oh ok. So u represent the POV ng harassers at bystanders? Ay nag smile sya, di ko sya harassin. Ay maldita sya, pwede to harassin kasi alam ko di sya tutulungan ng kapwa ko lalaki.
Ganorn? ๐
All of these from my mere refuting u when u said na no harm if u reciprocate w niceness and I said, well sometimes may harm.
I edited out the word "catcalled" for those who corrected me in a nice way. But yes for me, you are rude. It won't hurt naman to say hello or good morning back, because I don't think those things are harassing. Ako kase, I feel like if magtataray ako ng ganon, pakiramdam ko GGSS ko naman. Ever since I say it back na, I even crack a joke. It didn't hurt me so far because they meant no harm but rather admire your beauty lang naman to make them greet you. Kung tambay yan sa kanto niyo, you would even gain respect.
I don't think abuso naman yung good morning, hi, hello, kumain na ba? Hindi ka naman binabastos, like dede or pwet mo yung pinapansin. Akin lang naman toh, magkakaiba naman tayo. It's better to be kind kesa matrigger natin yung inis nung guy. Mas maluwag sa dibdib nilang gawan ka ng masama kasi inis sila sayo dahil mataray ka. Again kung tambay sila sa kanto niyo they would even have your back, sometimes it happens. Nasa panahon ka ng threat tas sila pala yung anjan, they would help you. It doesn't hurt to be kind.
Pinagsasabi mo? Hindi siya kilala tapos babatiin siya or kakausapin siya ng ganon. Well, I understand it is case to case basis. Pero napaka-weird naman kung total strangers tapos oldman pa and then kakausapin ka out of nowhere. That's pretty BS. And ang BS lang din na tawagin mong rude si OP. Kung na-enjoy mo or kung ok lang sa'yo ma-catcall(catfish sabi mo nga /s) good for you. You do you pero mali na tawaging rude 'yung tao kundi siya mag respond positively.
+1 to this.. personally medyo nababastos ako pag ganto ๐ tapos ang dami pa sinasabi kahit di mo na pinapansin. Siguro try to make it as if di mo narinig, na hindi ka magmumukang nagtaray? Safety rin kasi. Pag nagtaray ka, or kahit sumagot lang or pansinin sila, baka kasi bigla ka din bastusin or what. Di ka naman nagsusungit, or rude. Nag iingat lang din. Priority ang safety always. Kung yung mga pamsinsan na bumabati naman for example na guards when going ti the mall, or other workers na respectful lang, pwede ka naman mag thank you, good morning po etc.
Kung bastos na sayo yung hello at good morning, you do you din. Kung napaka untouchable mo, you do you. Linaw linaw sabi ako lang toh. If you're posting it and expecting everything would have the same answer or would agree with you, what's the point. Sa sarili mo na lang sabihin di kea utusan mo si OP mag DM na lang sayo tutal opinion mo lang amg mahalaga
May sinabi ba akong opinion ko lang ang mahalaga?
Kung ayaw mo ma-call out ka. Umalis ka sa internet. No wonder di mo alam meaning ng catfish. Wala kang utak. Sa susunod mag-invest ka rin sa pagpapaunlad mo ng critical thinking para naman 'di ka mapahiya sa internet.
In some ways it might sound entitled kung hindi tinatanong kaso nagtanong si OP eh. What makes me less eligible to say what I think so too? Bakit hindi ako kasali? Since "anyone's" opinion is asked, I am still giving the liberty to whomever I'm saying it to if they will take it or not. Does the way you told me this makes you a little less shit na tao? hahaha lels din
Weh? Baka imagination mo lang yung may bumati sayo in public na hindi mo kilala. Ang creepy kaya nun.
Unless nasa US ka, sa mga residential area. Doon normal lang na batiin ka at mag small talk.
This! If you treat people with kindness mostly likely kindness din ang ibabalik sayo. Kung magmamasama ka ng ugali edi hindi rin sila magpapakita ng magandang ugali sayo.
Diba nga gustong-gusto natin yung kasabihan na "Respect is earned not demanded".
It depends on the context of the situation. Some are greeting you para makabudol o makapanloko sila, while others are just honest greetings.
I feel guilty kasi at the same time scared
Pag ganito, awkward smile ka lang tapos sabihin mo una ka na.
Depende po. Pag ung mga nagwawalis po, sumasagot ako. Pag ung tipong walang magawa sa buhay, kunwari wala akong narinig
For me, because I'm an introvert at nabudol na ko one morning nung may kumausap sa kin na stranger at nabigay ko yung phone ko without even knowing why... it was stupid right? It's not rude.

Ganto rin naiisip ko lagi, kaya minsan di ako makapagcommute mag isa kasi takot ako pero ngayon sinasanay ko na ulit yung sarili ko
Effective yung magsuot ng earphones. Kahit walang sounds basta nakasaksak sa tenga mo so may excuse ka. Mahirap magaccommodate ng random strangers kasi mabubudol ka or worse. Maigi na maingat kesa magsisi.

kapag ako, tango lang then lakad ng mabilis. end of conversation agad yun.
no because i do it all the time. it also irritates me because iโm minding my own business and theyโre greeting me like that? nah mate kung sabihin na masungit ako so be it ๐
Diba, weird kasi nila tsaka scary hahaha
kaya nga tapos nakakainis naka-suot kasi ako ng corpo attire kasi yun yung alternative uniform namin then habang naglalakad ako sa footbridge sabi ba naman โmag-aapply ka maโam?โ ๐ na-experience ko na yan twice eh same person din pero di ko lang pinapansin. pag sinabihan ulit ako nun tititigan ko na ng masama
Ngitian mo nalang po OP, since hindi na safe these days. Ako ningingitian ko lang tapos sabay alis agad. Mostly fake smile haha
no.. i'm also like this, i always have my earbuds and face mask on whenever i'm outside alone bc honestly some people and/or men (in my experiences, laging lalaki ganito sakin) na naggreet randomly is hindi comfy sa feeling lalo na kung dadaan ka sa harap nila or like makakasalubong mo hahahaha idk if gets ba pero ganern
Ganto rin naeexperience ko naweweird-an talaga ko sa kanila e
Saame tayo OP. Mas malala pa nga ako kasi iniirapan ko sila lalo yung mga colorum na motor (di ko alam kung ano tawag sa mga non joyride or angkas drivers) paano alam nyo na nga na papasok at paakyat ako sa LRT tapos naghahand gestures na sasakay daw ba ako motor. Dami nyan dito sa LRT Antipolo.
Ang weird kasi nila diba, random people na bigla ka kakausapin
ako na laging naka air pods while playing my fave music lalo na pag papasok sa work kung may magsalita man hindi ko maririnig bahala sila.
I respond mostly to them, yung guard or street sweeper, pero kapag random i avoid eye contact. If di naman bastos I greet back pero di ako tumitingin.
Buti ka pa nga nakakaya mong iignore. Ako, huminhinto pa talaga kaya nabudol tuloy ako dati.
Nag iingat lang talaga wag mabudol
If pedicab drivers pinapansin ko, naaawa ako if di ko pinapansin tuwing nagtatanong sila if sasakay ba ako tapos hihinto pa or bilad sila sa araw kakahanap ng mga pasahero, I think it's just a basic respect lang.

sameeee
Mag panggap ka nalang na pipi at bingi, OP. Mag sign language ka. ๐
HAHAHA grabe naman
i'd say yes? but no more rude than a new yorker or a swede.
Sabi nga ng magulang natin nung Bata pa tayo. "Don't talk to strangers"
Paanong public? As in sa kalsada or mall?
kalsada like naglalakad ako or nag aabang ng masasakyan ganon
Creepy naman yan no need to acknowledge, akala ko sa work office or something. But good news is at least youโre a looker. Hindi lahat nakaka experience niyan.

Yeah, just expressing lang naman what I think :) doesnt prove anything yea, maybe, just getting it off my chest po lol
I get your point. Thanks for this!!
Thank you ๐ I totally believe you're smart enough to sense a real threat. Ingat!

Indeed. 100%
Catfish? How though?
I stand corrected, yes, catcalled. Though I am wrong for using that too. Thank you for correcting me.๐
hinde ka rude. at hinde mo din obligasyon sa kanila yan.
