Can I please just listen to my book?
Let me start off by saying I've been walking three to four dogs on a regular basis for the last 5 years. I cross paths with a lot of people, mostly strangers. I'm a bit of an introvert and awkward on the best of days, but there's always this increased awkwardness when I'm approaching someone I don't know. It gets even worse when I keep passing the same person, which is the case every time I frequent my favorite walking path.
