"I was raiding with random people and was too scared to approach them and say hi."

#PokemonGO: I'm a returning Pokemon Go player and I play alone. I used to have friends playing the game with me but they all quit for "reasons".I always feel a tiny bit lonely when playing the game since I can't find any players to enjoy the game with and I never did a trade with anyone else than my alt account on my old phone (which is just lvl 20). Also all the friend related features like gifting, I posted my friend code to a discord to find at least some people to trade gifts with. But 5 star raids are a no go to me since I'm only lvl 35 and have trouble even with 3 star raids.So the main story is, when I played on Go Fest alone in a city near me, I went to solo raid a Deino. I overheard some younger people talking near me and I just ignored them and went to take a seat further away from them. However it turned out that they were playing Pokemon Go and raided with me. As we took down the Deino I was thinking if I should go talk to them but my social anxiety stopped me and I just put my hat on and went the opposite way as they did. I regret doing this even though they were about 2-3 years younger than me.So I wanted to ask if you have any suggestions on how to approach people playing Pokemon Go in the future. Or even the same people since I remember their nicknames (about 5 people in total). via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/3l4dv2H
