Just wave or something, no need to be weird in either direction by ignoring someone you obviously know or pulling up a chair for a long conversation.

For the socially anxious, this is like telling a depressed person to ‘stop being depressed’.

Not trying to say that. I just want people to better recognize who's worth calling their friends and who in their lives are just self assigned obligations. I'd like more people to cherish eachother in their communities instead of feeling the need to 'play the part' all the time.
It's optimistic, maybe, but I genuinely wish better for everyone who feels the need to engage with this kind of banter and doesn't actually want to. There may or may not be a better opportunity for a genuine connection or for both people to recognize they don't actually know each other that well and either work to build that or acknowledge eachother and move on.
Eh. Working through some abuse and it's made me look at things differently lately. Also maybe too off topic at this point.

Me and my coworker yell hi to each other whenever we cross paths at the grocery store(parking lot, not inside). It's fun

I think the issue is that im excited to see my friends when i want to see my friends, im not excited to have people stop my train of thought while im trying to do something

I'm not sure what this is specifically about but I avoid entire stores to avoid the possibility of certain people even seeing me

The only awkward part for me is that I live in a small town, so when I use some like Instacart it's usually always the same couple people...
...and then I'll see them at the one bar in town, too.

It's not about friends but more about acquaintances

wrote last edited by [email protected]Several of my friends and family got married within about 5 years of each other. It's also well known that I rarely drink and have no issues with being the designated driver. We also had a pretty nice minivan at the time that could technically seat 8, but has been known to pack in 2-3 more of needed. So I was invited to every bachelor party. Right at first there were 3 all in the same 12 month period, and at some point I started seeing someone at my local grocery store that I recognized, but was not sure where from. It wasn't until one of the following trips that I passed him face to face in an isle and gave him a nod and a wave that I realized where from. The moment the guy looked up at me and saw me wave, he grabbed his kid and pulled him away like I was about to attack, which perplexed the shit out of me until it clicked that he worked at the club as a manager and bouncer.
