quote- One of the most difficult aspects of interacting with other people is figuring out how to extricate yourself from a conversation without appearing rude or mentally unstable.
well , three strikes and i'm out
:(
the best thing about being thought insane is that you do not have to worry about what other people think, you get to be yourself.

the worst is at my new work building - the main hallways are both 30+ metres long and very narrow. so when you see someone walking towards you it you feel urged to make eye contact and say hi at maximum distance, but that will make the 20 remaining seconds before you pass each other unbearable. too short of a time to have a standard conversation too. so pretty much forced to be preoccupied in the floor tiles until you get a bit closer.
i passed the same girl twice and she said "we meet again!" the other day. how bad can you be at these things? all i could muster was "YUP." *fake smile* |

| ^ I hate that!!! Also when I've finished paying at a store and the check-out person and I have already said "have a nice day" and I'm folding my money to put back in my money clip (bank note fashion, so it takes 7 to 10 seconds sometimes), I'm wondering if I should say goodbye again or is that wierd or do I look cold if I say nothing else. It's like a period of conversational pergutory. |
