Sometimes my confidence abandons me and I struggle to talk to anyone this was one of them. I put on a mask and push through it. Luckily I have a lot of regular customers who chatting to casually is easy. The rest of the time I concentrate on being as helpful and polite as I can. But what I really want to do is not be around anyone except those I really trust. It's not possible on a work day obviously so I have to push past it. I do find it exhausting though, and I was grateful for a quiet night in watching the tv. It passes and I bounce back, and I've learned not to worry if people think I'm a funny bugger because I don't feel chatty on breaks etc. Being chatty and friendly to customers is more important and staying quiet and recharging my batteries when I am on a break is even more important. I sometimes don't have the mental energy to do both. The thing is there is a good bunch of people to work with on a Sunday, the odd one not so, but there is always one. So long as you know that and smile and wave your'e fine.
