It's funny. I know I'm lonely, but as soon as anyone else says anything about it, I get really defensive. I really need to learn to let my guard down a little and be friendly. I just have no social skills.
I feel like I'm failing at my job because I don't know how to make small talk with the patrons. I act friendly, and I talk a little bit, but I always feel it's not enough. I don't really understand the point of making actual conversation with the patrons. I'd rather just check them out, answer their questions, whatever, and send them on their way.
It's also really hard for me to look people strangers. or people I otherwise don't trust. in the eyes. Even at the damned checkout at Wal-Mart I don't look people in the eyes. I guess I need to start forcing myself to.
