I had the same concern and decided to do it anyway. Here's what happened:

- At work, a few coworkers saw me jumping and now it's something we do every afternoon as a way to break the day up and get some fresh air.

- In parking lots, people walking by me will usually compliment me and sometimes that turns into a nice conversation.

So after a few good experiences with it, all of my social anxiety about it melted away.
