Sometimes. Im a friendly and chatty customer usually. Passer by not necessary as I tend to walk fast..

Sometimes I just want to be alone with music in my ears and don't want anyone to talk to me because I'm deep into the rhythm/lyrics/or sorting my thoughts.

They're the ones you should be smiling at. Hopefully you'll suppress their urge to stab you OR they'll get it over and done with faster.

Yes, say hello and sometimes a chat. Village life.

Did briefly live / work down south and when saying hello got funny looks, never sure if it was just the area or rude southerners

abruzzo Italy (and UK)

Yes, it’s a small village with an elderly population and politeness is expected, so if it’s actually in the village it tends to be Buongiorno/Buona Sera for the more elderly, and more formal. Ciao, for same age or younger, and if you’re on a walk, like a mountain path, then it switches to Salve, for some reason I haven’t quite grasped yet.

Yes, can help make someone else's day especially after lack of social interaction people have had in the last 18 months.

Also try and say have a nice day to people working in shops or on tills as they are often under pressure in their jobs and an angry customer is never far round the corner in the customer service industry so why not

Often yes - but not always. Tends to be more when walking the dog - dog walkers seem to acknowledge each other - some kind of private club.
