Socially awkward Dani strikes again!

This really adorable old man just walked onto my tram (late 60s probably) wearing a suit with a colourful tie and a beret. He keeps smiling and looking thoughtfully into the distance.
I really want to talk to him and hear his story. Is that weird? I want to listen to him speak about his life and have a nice discussion with him. I think it is weird, but he looks so friendly and interesting!

Alas, I’m far too socially awkward to talk to a stranger, no matter how friendly or sweet they seem. I almost have a panic attack just thinking about talking to an elderly passenger and offering them my seat. So I stay seated despite my moral (and legal for that matter) obligations to switch with them.. I’m just too socially anxious to talk to them. Which is odd, seeing as I’m the most extroverted and talkative person in the world, but when faced with strangers I’m as useful as a screen door on a submarine.
