"Your friends' encouragement was great. Walking over to say hello is not a marriage proposal but it is a great way to break the ice. Sometimes when people are in groups, it can feel daunting for someone to come over to talk to one person. What may be happening for you is that you see someone interesting and that person sees you, but both of you are nervous to say hello."
"When I reach out with questions, the responses are either short, vague or delayed. I was expecting some kind of structured onboarding or training, or at least regular check-ins to help me transition smoothly, but that hasn't happened. Most days I'm left trying to piece together things on my own, and I have no idea if I'm meeting expectations or completely missing the mark."
An introverted person hesitates to approach attractive strangers at a bar despite friends' encouragement, believing mutual glances absolve them from initiating; friends say missed opportunities result from not trying new approaches. Advice encourages making a small first gesture, noting that walking over to say hello is not a marriage proposal and that mutual nervousness can prevent either person from speaking. A new employee reports poor onboarding: vague, delayed responses from a boss, absence of structured training or check-ins, and daily uncertainty about meeting expectations. That lack of communication is eroding confidence and creating fear of appearing incompetent.
