Yup you replied to your own question. Fear, reassurance, being noticed and remembered and a quick assessment about the intentions and stance of others...

Common likeness. Walking in the woods, you meet another dude walking in the woods, you say hi. On the sidewalk everyone walks on the sidewalk, so you're more inclined to say screw everyone and want to be left alone. Humans like to interact with Humans they identify with. Some are not as closed off, but in general it's our nature.

Where I live there are no sidewalks, also once someone got angry at me for not knowing her name.
The world's a strange place eh.
