This is something I am not very good at. If I am out and about and see someone that I know, but not really well, I nearly always look the other way. I will never go up and say hello to them as I have this fear that they will not recognise me and I will look an idiot. So I find it easier to walk away quickly and hope that they didn’t recognise me.
This always leaves me feeling really bad as I wonder whether they did recognise me and then think that I am rude for not saying hello. Silly I know but no matter how hard I try, I cannot stop doing this and I hate the feeling it gives me afterwards.
Bokeh (from the Japanese boke ボケ, "blur") is a photographic term referring to the appearance of out-of-focus areas in an image produced by a camera lens.[1] Different lens bokeh produces different aesthetic qualities in out-of-focus backgrounds, which are often used to reduce distractions and emphasize the primary subject.

Oh dear Claire. Mind you I was probably the same. You could always go and say Hello - its Claire - we met at such and such. Then you are giving them your name and a clue to how you know them.
