I'm in a world apart
Briefly

When you recognize someone in a public space but feel too intimidated to approach, remember that kindness can go a long way in breaking the ice.
Start by making your presence known without invading their personal space. A simple way to do this is by walking into their line of sight and establishing eye contact.
People appreciate friendly gestures, and it creates a shared space to begin talking. This encourages them to open up about their own challenges.
Your willingness to help can make a huge difference. By doing this, you become a kind and generous leader who helps others also feel less intimidated.
