I have difficulty approaching people because I just feel uncomfortable, and I can't. Maybe they'll judge me, maybe I'd be boring, maybe they secretly just don't like me. Even with this one girl who always used to walk up to me for a chat. We both frequent the same place, and she's friendly. We talked and eventually texted. All platonic conversations. No sign of anything else from either side. However, I would never approach her from my initiative in person, at our coffee place. She always did that. I only approached in texting. She used to always be the one to approach me to chat.

Now I don't text her as much, because it felt like a very one sided effort. Now, at my coffee place today, she didn't approach me once. She nodded at me the first time she saw me and went her way. She walked past me several times in the hours I was there, but nothing past that one nod. I think it's because I never walked up to her at the café. Probably. I just can't do that.
