Do you get anxious with strangers at your house?

Post Reply New Topic

Yep i just hide in the garden or lock myself up in the room, i even have this with family(not my parents/sisters/brother tho) they just are complete strangers to me cause i'm not interested in them and me and them having contact makes none of us both better.

i dont wanna meet people that i don't like and i can see it from far whether i like them or not.

yes, all the time

Not any more.

Yes. Definitely.
I get anxious with the with possibility anyone coming to my house.

However, interacting with sales people, "new doors and windows" or "lawn and weed control" for instance, is time consuming and stressful. I threat them with as much good will as I can because it is their job. It puts food on their table and a roof over their head. I don't want them feeling like crap.
But I get stress at the prospect of people I know might stop by.

I thought I posted about this earlier today. Either I did and didn't press Submit, or I did, and it was removed. That going to get my guilt paranoia going. LOL yeah ... ha ha ha... Most likely I purposefully did not press Submit.

Anyway, I was texting with my two friends this morning and one said she was driving into down. She was going to buy a new washing machine. I wondered if I should ask if she needed help, but I did not ask. She is very capable at asking for help, and haggle over the price of things. I don't have those skills. I've watched her do both, and was amazed, especially at haggling. I don't know how she can haggle. To the point.

If she is driving into town, she will be driving near My House, which as anyone knows reading that thing to the left of this post, is where I live. Okay, this is the truth. I went into immediate blackout. Turned off the lights, plugged headphone into the computer so it would look like I was not home, and there was no sound coming from inside the house. I also shut off my phone so if she texted me, I would not see it. I don't want to lie to one of the two people in the world I communicate with. Even though she is the only person to have seen the inside of my house in years, and used my bathroom (though she did not utilize the bidet). She is the only person I drop everything if she needs assistance. I did not feel like company this morning. That was early this morning, and it is now almost 4:30 in the afternoon, and I have not heard a peep from her. That shouldn't surprise me. Both friends are not autistic. I'm lucky they put up with my irreverent random sense of humor, changes in topic, and idiosyncrasies. She knows me well enough that unplanned visits are awkward for me. If she gives me a heads up, I will panic, but I have dealt with that before.
I think it's time to turn on a light, and unplug the headphone, and turn on the TV. There is a movie I want to find (thank you Double Retired).
Can you imagine what I do with strangers? I use to spend Halloween in my basement. Use to. Now I turn out the lights and use headphones. Too bad. I always liked Halloween.
