But when people do start talking to me, I'm so thrown off, that I don't know what to say.

Oh, just any perceived thing in common. If I'm at the courthouse and it's a jury trial day, I'll strike up a conversation with one of the random jurors. If I'm at the county clerk and in the elevator, we might just talk about the weather or something to do with the county. Or if they (or I) have something unusual in their hands, say I'm bringing flowers to a judge that's sick (which was the case last week) someone might ask me about it. Mostly just random chatter.
Sometimes it happens and sometimes not.
