So I was talking to a good friend of mine online.. and I was telling her that I saw her at the mall but I just did not say “hello” because it was like a split second.
I think I have a pretty good awareness about when I see people out in public, usually before they see me… unless they have the same problem as me about approaching people. So ya, I am pretty sure that I have a problem with running into people in public when it is not planned. For instance, if I see someone coming down and pretty sure they have not seen me yet, I tend to pretend like I am looking another direction… Like I am terrified for them to see me and me not knowing what to say. I am sure I have done it to everyone reading this… I just have a fear in my head that I am the last person anyone wants to see in public and be seen talking to, I do not know where exactly that stems from.
Does anyone have any tips on how I can get over the awkwardness?
