Me, I'll talk to anyone, anytime. I talk to complete strangers in restaurants, stores, anywhere. I like saying Hi! But maybe they are shy too. I often get these looks like I just touched them with a cattle prod. They say a word or two & then mums the word again. I just thought they were weird --- maybe they're just shy.
Then sometimes the other people are like me & we strike up a conversation.

I have absolutely no problem striking up a conversation with someone while waiting in line, or chatting with the cashier, etc. It's *groups* of people that give me the deer-in-the-headlights feeling. More specifically, groups of strangers. Especially in an unfamiliar setting
