It's a common fear.
The fear of meeting new people.
I'm talking about that moment of shaking a hand, uttering a greeting, and then having nothing but awkward silence between you and your new aquaintence.
---Okay, so I have some friends.
Yus. Friends. I have friends. I think.
And they suffer a chronic disease. It's called greetophobia. Greetophobia is often characterized by the slurring of speech, knocking of knees, quivering heartbeat, and slight nausea that occours when approaching a stranger with the intention of saying "hello" (or some other elementary salute).
