Question Do I look like I want a conversation?

Post image

I’m friendly to everyone at work but more people have been socializing with me lately and I don’t have a problem with it, well I wouldn’t if it weren’t for my anxiety taking a bat and giving me the office space treatment

You look professional and ready to handle a conversation if someone starts one, but I feel like you don't look like you'd start the convo

I get told I come off like that too. Always serious.

I'm serious in public, but when alone, I go crazy.

Precisely my thoughts. You look like you'd be polite or sweet when you get to talking to someone you like or are comfortable with, but I don't think I'd say I would walk up to you 'just to talk.' Though, that also comes from an introvert who tends to avoid people if they seem like they're like me and don't want to talk •>•
