Something I’ve struggled with all my life is eye contact, and talking to people. I can talk to waiters, talk on the phone, ask for directions with no issue, but in some ways I struggle a lot with talking to people. An example would be that today the mailman came by my house. I heard him put the mail in since I was by the door and opened it to go check. As I was getting the mail, I said thank you to him, but before he could reply I already turned my back out of fear/embarrassment that he wouldn’t hear me. He did thankfully, but moments like this is what bother me because I feel as thought I struggle with saying thank you, or wave and smile at certain people in the case that it won’t be reciprocated and I’ll embarrass myself. Also want to clarify I definitely say thank yous, it’s just sometimes I worry about them not hearing it.
