[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am in the SAME boat as you. I probably would have reacted like you as well. This helps me though- I count in my head to three (slowly and calmly) and then force myself to say something. Sometimes I say funny things but I always feel better that I tried. And I do find the more I do it, the better I feel. Last month I was in the airport and ran over a woman's feet with very expensive looking shoes! She even gasped or said something. I made myself to quickly count and turn around. The first thing I blurted was, wow those are beautiful shoes. And then I said, "I'm so sorry for running them over." I giggled because interactions like this make me nervous. She said thanks and sort of laughed too and it was fine. Ironically, we was sitting in my aisle on the plane and we chatted for a bit and even exchanged business cards for a project she's working on that may be able to use my company. :)[/quote]
