aka Why It's Hard for Me to be Around People That Often

• I passionately dislike having to answer the phone.
  • In fact, I'd go as far as disconnect the cord so that I could pretend no one is home.
• I wear sunglasses most of the time I'm outside so that I could avoid eye contact
  • These glasses also cover around half of my face
• Getting accidentally bumped or touched gives me the heebie-jeebies.
• I'm actually glad when plans to go out are canceled.
• My quota for going out (dining & partying) is around 1-2 times a month.
• I can't hold my end of a conversation after the "Hi! Hello! How are you?"s have been said.
  • *cue awkward silence*
• I bring a book around to give me an excuse not talk to anyone.
• Even in online chats, I tend to quiet down when there are lots of people already talking.
• I don't really know what to say/do in certain situations (like deaths, break-ups, etc.)
  • *thus, cue more awkward silence*
• I'm a sarcastic person and I tend to hold back my words because people might take them the wrong way.
• To be honest, I don't see myself an anti-social type. It's just that being around a number of people wears me down.
