okay so, I've always been a bit on the shy side (I KNOW, SUSPEND YOUR DISBELIEF. HOW IS SOMEONE WHO SCREAMS IN CAPS ALL THE TIME SHY). idk, but there is this thing that happens when I face people in real life. Something about actually having to face a person and see them there just makes me freeze and lose my ability to uh, everything. Just to be

I dare you to make a list of cafe's around you and then pin it somewhere where you will see it. Whenever you feel the urge to sit and watch endless amounts of your kdramas, pick one off of the list and go on an adventure. When you get there, ask your barista how their day is going, take small steps in making conversations with them. They'll appreciate the conversation and it's great practice for going out of your way for other people.

I think you're pretty amazing, darling, all in all.

oh man, I love barista's because they are amazing, but I'm always to talk to them because I feel like I'm bothering them?? Is this okay or should I wait for when there isn't that many people? Q__Q

sobb thank you, hopefully at some point during all this I will feel the same way!!

uh, about myself, i mean. it goes without saying that you're pretty amazing yourself ♥!

Haha, you're never bothering them. I know from personal experience that having a customer who will chat at you can make the shift pass by quicker. If it's busy, go back up to the counter when it slows down. If you're going out of your way, it's even better. :)
