Well, it's also the same way someone who wants to take advantage of you will approach you, so it's kinda hard to not be defensive. Mechanics for faking it till you make it social skills at early steps are hard to discern from PUA tactics and Bosses. This is the fault of PUA tacticians and bosses because they beed to learn to socialize that way because they are bad people. I don't really know what to do approach wise, reception wise I'm familiar enough to know it's just how some people go about meeting others and go along, I can also usually tell what the angle is from context, it just sets of an initial irrational red flag.

says a lot about the whole "fake it until you make it" thing
