My Many Imperfections: Day 9

My Many Imperfections:  Day 9
Eye Contact

Another really dumb thing I do is avoid eye contact with people I "know" when I'm out and about in town.  I put "know" in quotations because if it's someone I am very well acquainted with, I definitely go over and cheerily chat it up in any aisle of the grocery store.  However, if it's someone I only "know" because I see her at MOPS sometimes or she's in my yoga class (former), I usually just avoid eye contact and act like I don't see them!  UGH!  I'm frustrated with this as I'm typing!

I'm a very outgoing person, but I'm realizing more and more that I definitely still have my insecurities!  Some reasons I avoid people I only kind of "know" is because I'm afraid I'm remembering their name wrong and it would be too embarrassing (spelled it wrong again) to ask, or because I'm worried I'll go say hello and they won't have a clue who I am, or I'm worried that it will be awkward and we won't have anything to say and I'm the huge dork who traveled across the store to say hello to you.

Another personality flaw to work out I guess! :)  So if you see me in a store... make it really obvious you're there and test me to see if I come say hi.  LOL
