By nature I'm a very shy person.

But sometimes when you're walking down the street and you make eye contact with a stranger, you can't help but smile. I love it when they say "Hi, how are you." Makes the world seem a little friendlier and smaller.

The thing is, I can't do the same with people at work or at the gym. I see them all the time on my way to the bathroom. Or in the elevator. Or in the locker room. I smile. But they just keep walking or going about their business. I'm too chicken to stop them and introduce myself. I keep telling myself, "you're new" but I've been here a year and half now.
