I can engage online perfectly fine -- I meant talking in person.
I do not understand how my younger self was capable of just striking up conversation with anyone who was not an adult. I'm terribly awkward around anyone my age who I haven't known for ages.
Online, though....

That was my youth. Oh wait, that is still me in normal situations.

I finally decided that the world was more scared of me than I was of it.

Yes, I talk to strangers in elevators and in lines. I also correct other people's kids. Met some interesting people too. Cough, cough < @Kiki > cough.
