    Me too, but I don’t like it. When I’m out with friends, I’m out to really enjoy my time with them and it’s especially great when it’s a few of us. I get really awkward and feel like kind of a douche when people come up to me to say hi and chat. Especially if they decide to join us or merge groups.

    It’s an issue when you have many different social groups or networks through work, hobbies, schooling, etc.

      Mate, same! Town I used to live, I couldn’t walk from one end of town to the other without picking up a a dozen acquaintances on the way. Made it really difficult to spend quality time with my closest friends.

      So, when we got older, me and my entire inner circle all got houses in a different town where nobody knew us! It’s blissful not having to stop to talk to people every 30 seconds.
