Always, especially with something I have little to no interest in doing and/or do not desire to do. I, like most others wait till the last second to get something done.
I would quit procrastinating but I keep putting it off.  |

I think the sk... |

| I dislike horror movies for the reason if I want to see guts and gore I just think and remember the fatal trauma calls I've been to in my 15 years working EMS. That's a lifetime of horror movies that don't all end in the mind ever. Although I can remember the bad the good outweighs all the death I h... |

| Here is what I do to imitate eye contact, I pick a point/object behind their head and look at it. If I do make anything remote it is a pure accident and I get so much more uncomfortable.
