I spent most of my formative years in a very OOT-y community, big mix of people and everyone said good shabbos to everyone b’shita. When we moved to another OOT community albeit much less Out Of Town-y, people here are friendly and cordial and most say good shabbos, I’ve never seen anyone not respond, but it’s not so b’shita. Since high school, I’ve been living in town and I’ve gotten used to not being wished good shabbos, and I’m perfectly fine with that. Recently, I spent shabbos in a community and EVERY SINGLE PERSON wished me good shabbos to and from shul. It was annoying. I couldn’t hold a conversation without being constantly interrupted, and I couldn’t just walk in my own thoughts. Too much.
