To think this is awkward?!

[Cornpoppin]

New flatmate moved into my place around a week ago and we haven’t crossed paths yet (different schedules etc)

Can hear the two guys chatting in the kitchen, my doors a bit open and I’m working, they are right next door (feet away) and they know I’m in here! Im friendly with one of them but as mentioned haven’t met second. I feel too awkward to go in!

They’ve been chatting for 40 mins but it’s quite blokes stuff and I just don’t have the energy atm!!

Can you not take a quick break to go through and make a cuppa and introduce yourself?

Ok, then don’t go in.

I’m with Kelly. Just go and say hi. They are probably wondering why you haven’t spoken yet.

Just struggling to find an appropriate moment! And overthinking the fact I haven’t said hi yet!

I’m confused at your OP. It’s your place and you feel awkward going into your own kitchen? Just go and say hi.

If you're in your room working, I wouldn't expect them to disturb you to say hi?! Go through and make yourself a cup of tea, at least you've crossed paths and made the introduction then.

Yes get a brew, offer them one. Good luck.

How old are you OP and are you usually socially awkward, because yes YABU to think that the situation you are in is remotely awkward.

I’m 25 and actually normally very confident!

Why is this particular situation stressing you do you think?

Are you serious that none of you would be a bit nervous about introducing yourself to a new flatmate?!?

No, not nervous at all.

I am 41 of course 🤣 however I wouldn’t have been nervous at your age either. However we’re all very different

I’d be fine! Just go out. 🙂

Just go through and say hi. He’s not going to bite you. He probably thinks it odd that you haven’t done so already.

Round of applause for you strongmummy

Bugger they have now finished convo - will man up and grab up a tea, just didn’t want to go in as they were discussing girls or something

OP, don't worry about it, it's social anxiety. I don't always like meeting new people and you're in enforced proximity with strangers so it's even more difficult!

Just fake it till you make it! Pretend you're not awkward, go in and say a breezy hi, my name is Cornpop, the rest will take care of it itself

Good luck OP. Let us know how you get on

I'd be nervous, yes, but wouldn't find it awkward that they were chatting in the next room without me!

Ironically I’m actually very confident normally and Vv chatty! It’s just the thinking about it beforehand!

They have gone back to their rooms! Now I look like a freak!

are you serious that none of you would be a bit nervous about introducing yourself to a new flatmate?!?
Would I heck be nervous about saying hi to someone in my gaff!
I would dazzle them with my Northern humour and charm! Not really, I would just go in and say ' Alright, how y'doin? I've not had chance to have a catch up yet, I'm notacooldad!; Let's get kettle on! ( because that is how we talk in the North!!!)

Can you not go and knock on the guy’s door and introduce yourself ? I don’t get the issue to be honest. You’re all living together!!!!! Maybe I just don’t get modern day flat share situations

They have gone back to their rooms! Now I look like a freak!
Just shout 'Did none of you's put the kettle on then?'

That will break the ice!

No I wouldn't. Have you never lived in a housesshare before. Just go and say hi instead of making a drama over it.
