THE AFFECTION I'VE BEEN KEEPING TRACK OF HAS BEEN SCATTERED, I NEED TO FOCUS MORE.

A BRIEF LIST OF WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING THESE DAYS ON AFFECTING PEOPLE'S EMOTIONAL STATUS:

TODAY: WHEN I APPROACH A WOMEN IN THE PARKING LOT (I WASN'T SURE IF I CAN PARK HERE SINCE I DON'T HAVE A PERMIT TO PARK HERE BUT ALSO IT'S 7 O'CLOCK PM), HER FIRST NATURAL RESPONSE WOULD BE A SENSE OF ALERT AND TENSION. I CAN TELL THAT FROM HER BEHAVIOUR OF PRETENDING TO LOOK DOWN INTO THE CAR BUT NOT AT ME, THEN WHEN I SHOWED A FRIENDLY SMILE AND WAVED MY HAND WHEN I WAS STILL A COUPLE OF YARDS AWAY FROM HER CAR, SHE RESPONDED WITH A SMILE AND SEEMS TO FEELING A LOT MORE RELAXED.  I STARTED THE CONVERSATION WHEN OUR DISTANCE WAS ABOUT 5 TO 6 FEET WHICH IS A BIT MORE THAN AN ORDINARY CONVERSATION DISTANCE, TO PRESERVE A "CUSHION" FOR HER. AND THE CONVERSATION WENT QUITE WHILE, FOR ABOUT 90 SECONDS IN TOTAL. AND I DID GET CLOSER TO THE CAR BY THE SIDE WHERE THE DOOR WAS OPEN AND IT SEEMS TO BE COMPLETELY FINE FOR HER. THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED AND THE  INTERACTION ENDED UP WITH A GREETING. I THINK SHE'S HAPPY BECAUSE SHE SEEMED TO HAVE HELPED ME FROM THE POTENTIAL OF GETTING A PARKING TICKET, AND MY INITIAL CONCERN(WORRY) ABOUT IF SHE WOULD GIVE A SATISFYING ANSWER OR RATHER RUN AWAY IS CONSOLED.
