Friendliness is defined by how you how you interact with people, not by going out of your way to show people you are friendly.
Instead of saying "Hello!", why not say, "I'm friendly!"

"J: PREFERENCE FOR A MEANINGFUL LIFE: most folks can't be bothered by meaningless, empty, and fake gestures such as insincere greetings that might be misconstrued as so-called friendliness. The search for meaning is way too energy consuming and can't be distracted, derailed, or debiked by meaningless.
my god, I've suddenly realized how shallow I am.

What's the point of saying hello anyway? I suspect one might answer that
question with, "It's nice." Well, I don't think it is; I think it's
meaningless, empty, and fake.
Personally, I'm already annoyed by how many people I have to talk to on
a daily basis. The last thing I want is a 2 second 'conversation' to
reassure someone that I am aware of their presence.
