Translation Frustration

Do you ever feel like someone wants to say something to you, start a conversation even, but they do not know how or where to start?

I am not typically the type of person to start conversations. I like when other people start conversations with me; however, in some instances I start the conversations (usually only if we are friends and talk at least once every day). I am not one of those people who acts better than others or ignores the world, and when people talk to me I am really friendly. I enjoy talking to people, but if I need to be serious and am in a situation where I need to get work done then I usually put conversing in the back of my mind.

I am getting off the topic I wanted to talk about. There are two specific people who I feel want to say something to me, but never do. They always look at me -- and not the typical way people just glance around at everyone -- and we always make some sort of awkward eye contact. Everytime I look around and they happen to be there, they are always looking in my direction. At first I thought they were just looking in the same general direction that I was in, but when we started making eye contact more and more frequently I realized they were staring at me. 

They always look like they want to talk, to blurt something out when they see me, but then they think twice and by that time I am usually gone or one of their friends gets their attention. They are always talkative and friendly with everyone else, but they lose their vocal abilities when it comes to me.

Maybe I am being paranoid or over-thinking this. Maybe it really is all in my head. Maybe it is just me.
