At the gym, the guy who managed to get my name, screamed hello out to me from nearly across the gym. I knew this would turn into a problem.

I just acted like I didn't hear him. I don't want to appear rude, but I really didn't sign up for this.

That’s a lack of confidence. Shout hello back, and then go on to the rowing machine like a king.

@WintaTheAngle I have plenty of confidence, but I wasn't in the mood to start shouting across the gym floor to a guy I don't even really know and never wanted to have my name in the first place.
