    if she had bad social anxiety she would hardly have been rambling around debenhams? If she could deal with cashiers etc. surely she could have muttered some form of acknowledgement? True though, we don't always know what's going on in someones head. Maybe shock at OP's gesture?

    Not necessarily,I have pretty bad social anxiety and avoid shopping at all costs unless I absolutely have to get something that I can't get online or need urgently.Something like the OP described happenned to me before in a supermarket and I reacted pretty much the same way,just out of sheer panic.

    This happenned years ago and I still feel really bad for the person,even though they have probably long since forgotten about it.

    People are far too quick to judge these days.

    I would disagree. There is probably a 1 in 100 chance that this is the explanation in this instance. Same way being overweight is personal choice for the vast majority of people and not a medical condition.

    In reality people are far less likely to take responsibility for their actions these days and use excuses.
