I’m a manager of a cafe chain. Which is funny because most days, I don’t want to socialize or really talk to anyone. I’d rather get the work done and go home. When I’m out and about it’s usually different, I don’t mind chatting with strangers. There’s a lot of pretty girls that come in, or work close by, and I’m sure if I put a modicum of effort into having a conversation, maybe something could go somewhere, but it feels hard almost. Like I could but don’t want to??

Could have to do with my situation perhaps, when I’m on the up & up, it feels easier to be outgoing and friendly, and conversely when I’m dealing with a lot in the background, I find it hard to do that.

I sorta have to make a conscious effort to converse with customers, sometimes I’ll ask em if they got anything going on today, and usually a small conversation will open up about that, but usually I don’t, which sucks because I’d like to be more friendly and sociable, but at the same time I don’t?

This used to feel easier, don’t know what has gotten into me.
