I live in a small rd in the uk (sw), there are 7 houses on this road altogether.
I don't think I'm a rude person, but I suffer very badly of social anxiety.
I live at the top of this road so I have to pass all the houses going out.I lived here for about for about 4 year now I always try and wave and smile from the car whilst passing a neighbour but truly fear small talk and stopping for a chat now most of them if not all ignore me now they turn their back if they notice my car
I've read a lot of posts saying not to take any notice but this is killing me 24/7
I really wish people would just accept a friendly smile and wave but they don't seem to
I sometimes feel like putting a note through there doors to explain myself to them but I know my wife would not want me to do this I think it would embarrass her .
