Thanks for sharing. I have definitely tended to “undershoot” when it comes to these types of social interactions. The risk of overstepping seems so high, but the reality is there’s far more risk to not engaging. The number of amazing people that have walked in and out of our lives without us ever being vulnerable enough to know them is staggering. Listening to Charlie Houpert started me down the path of getting over my social inhibitions, gave me some tools for conversing, and it has helped my relationships immensely. Link below if you’d like. Good luck!
