It's a combination of multiple things. I am really shy and don't know what I would say to her. Even though I would be shy, I think it would be fine, because we already know each other. Every day I hope I will run into her, because I want to see her so badly. But every single time I get the opportunity, I always flee. Why do I always do this?? I just feel like oh no she's coming! Umm turn the other way, let her get the impression you didn't even notice her and have better things to do anyway. Let her see you as on your way to something much more important! I always end up just trying to advertise myself... Only problem is it never gets me anywhere. When will I just tell myself, no! Don't walk away this time. Continue walking, run into her, and say hi. This leads to another thing. Will it be a Hi with a slight smile that indicates I'm going to keep walking? I really don't want this. I want to give her a Hi! that says let's stop and talk
I kind of go through the same thing-or at least something similar; I have generalized anxiety disorder, and social phobia. You might want to talk to a counselor and see what can be done to help you.
