Awkward/Mean feeling

[Stressed7]

I was at my friends work place and I saw her talking so I didn't want to bug her. Walked by her again she saw me and said hi twice I said hi and kept walking because I didn't want to bug her at work outta respect.
I feel so awkward and mean when i do stuff like that. Makes me cringe so bad I hate that feeling xD.
But hope someone had the same issue and knows a way to overcome this.

Thank you for you're time!

Hi welcome
Have you told her that you are feeling like this? She might understand if you honestly tell her why you behave like that, which is out of respect towards her while she is at work. I reckon she will appreciate it.

I've talked about my anxiety to her and found she has anxiety as well. She is real understanding and I will tell her about how I feel towards her work. Thank you! I need to just think simple instead of overthinking. I will note this down and again thank you. So happy I joined this forum I've never felt so accepted/understood!

Stressed7,

If you're like me and overthink everything and feel your fair share of anxiety from it, I know how you feel . I didn't know I had anxiety until I served an LDS mission, during that my anxiety really was amplified. I served in the Fiji Islands, and so the things I learned to cope with anxiety come from the Island culture. I try to just have a calm face (that signals my brain to calm down), and just take it "chill". Having anxiety myself, I know better than to just suggest you to "simply" "chill" because it's not that easy. I'll explain what I mean by this; I don't know how much time you've spent around Islanders, but if you observe them (at least those that actually grow up on the islands, not in 1st world countries), you soon realize that they seem to tell themselves that when it comes down to it, not a whole lot really matters. They don't even worry about the food that they don't have for tomorrow. They don't worry. It's because we don't need to worry about things. We just need to plan things and act rather than do nothing and worry. I know this is likely not answering your question, but I felt I needed to share what I've learned about anxiety in hopes it will help you in some way . So, I've adopted this way of thinking.

I agree with what Rinka had to say. If communication of that matter doesn't give you too much anxiety, then I would definitely tell her your thinking. I hope you find peace.
