I can so relate to this! Whenever I'm out alone and sit down at a cafe or a restaurant I always look for the window seat, the one where I can enjoy watching the passers-by and play with that eye contact "game". As a street photographer, I'm used to noticing people all around, but you said it nicely that it's also a fun challenge being in there like a mannequin and letting yourself be seen (in the safety behind glass :D)

Isn't photography also a way of seeing and being seen from behind glass? Street photography sounds exciting. A test of courage for the shy, maybe. How'd you come to it?
It just came natural to me. 7 years ago when I got my first camera and walking down the street, I was primarily interested in people, observing them and anticipating their reactions. Surely in a way it came as a challenge for the introvert in me. But an exciting challenge. :)
