speaking to professors

OK so i have this issue with talking to professors.

There is only one professor i am 100% comfortable just going up and talking to: Dr. Bunger. and thats because he is just so easy to talk to and so open and accepting of people. he just oozes nice-ness.

i could say the same thing about Dr. Loudon, but for some reason i can talk to him. He just seems... too cool?

like..Dr. Bunger i see as a mentor, and thus although i admire and respect him VERY much, i am more comfortable with him.

Dr. Loudon....idk i always feel like if i try to talk to him i'd be bothering him... or i get nervous and don't know what to say. but he is SO nice and friendly that i WANT to talk to him. i guess...i feel unworthy?

like the other day i waved to him in the halls while i walked to class and he was talking to someone. i didn't even think he saw me but he stoped talking long enough to say "hey lisa" and i swear i about exploded. he actually remembered my name. i was shocked.


i really need to work on this self-confidence thing.

and it isn't JUST Dr. Loudon, i feel like i'm bothering almost any professor when i go up and talk to them. But i guess i admire Dr. Loudon so much he's the one that sticks in my brain?

i think i have him on this pedestal in my mind and thus i am too low to talk to him?

i did/do the same thing with peers as well. If someone seems too awesome, i get shy and feel like i cant talk to them.

how do i get over that?

especially when i actually do want to talk to those people?
