so, i'll have those days where i can't look ANYBODY in the eye. and i don't want to hear anybody speak to me. and i don't want another single human being to even look at me.
Eloquent. It isn't just not having conversations, some days I want to avoid all contact. Sunglasses, hat, I've even worn long sleeve shirts - it seems like the less I'm seen, the less I will see others, or have to look at them, if that makes sense. I have walked through grocery stores with my hat and head down so I can't see anything above the knee on another human being - these are the days when I
love the U-Scan, I can check out without human contact, a real blessing.
For some reason, writing on the internet doesn't trigger any sort of social response, even though written communication is as valid a means as any for communication. The phone, on the other hand, is my sworn enemy from childhood. I do not like talking to people on the phone, even close friends and relatives. People get on me for not answering my phone or returtning calls, like it is a personal attack. It isn't personal at all when I don't talk on the phone, I just don't feel up to it; on rare days I am in the mood for telephones, and I can talk for hours. Guess I'm just an odd one.
