My shyness is situational. I do pretty well when there's some structure to the interaction. Like I can chat with the employees usually, because it's kind of expected. I was reading some stuff on shyness, and I learned that having trouble with unstructured interactions is one of the usual components of shyness.

It's just these little opportunities where I freeze up that I'm wanting to work on. Plus it would be nice to appear more approachable. People are often telling me I seemed unfriendly when they first met me, and I can often look back and realize that I actually liked that person and wanted to know them from the beginning, but somehow managed to give off "unfriendly" vibes anyway. I think I get kind of scared and restricted, and that shows in my body language. I don't have a good eye contact habit either. If I'm not in a really sunny mood (which is most of the time), I have to really remind myself to make eye contact.
