I get this! My next door neighbour is an absolutely wonderful human being. However if he is outside working on his garden I will put off any errands I have to run until he goes inside because it feels awkward to do that hi/wave of acknowledgement thing when passing by.

I live in a cul-de-sac and I always wait until there are no neighbours around to leave the house 🥲

My thought is that greetings, farewells and thank yous are more of an emotional use of language. They are ways to acknowledge people, and people like to feel valued.

My social skills are the opposite. I’m good at the hello part. BUT THEN WHAT HAPPENS? I can’t figure that part out unless I know someone very well.

Good-bye is the hard part. Because you have to change gears. You have to go from the engaged gear to the disengaging gear to the leaving gear. And that disengaging gear is so much more work than the leaving gear. First, you switch to the gear. Then, instead of ramping down, you actually ramp UP. You go through this whole song and dance where you have to wrap up any unresolved business, make future plans, smile bigger, make your voice more excited... and then, when do you definitively break it off? In fact, when do you START the process in the first place? Will you offend the person because you're saying good-bye too soon? Will you annoy the person if you DON'T say it soon enough? What if I'm not ready to go? What if they're not ready to go? This isn't universal. It doesn't apply to ALL good-byes. But it can be there.
