I use such snaps but in other communities and thank you for the appreciation.
I've tried to overcome my social anxiety several times. Sometimes by making myself familiar to the surrounding, sometimes by showing curiosity to the other person. It sometimes helps and sometimes it doesn't. Skilled are those people who know how to establish an effective communication.
Yours is extra-ordinary because you have a way of communicating with people which is photography. You should always use that to make people happy and to communicate with people.
I do that most of the times brother and it helps sometimes but not everyone has similar taste 😄
