Oh good lord.....I swear I just about had a panic attack standing - TopicsExpress



          

Oh good lord.....I swear I just about had a panic attack standing in line at Walmart.......So Im standing in line, minding my own business like I always do, and all of a sudden I notice an older man standing behind me. Ok, so no big deal right. WRONG!!! This man was literally standing just a few inches away from me. So I scooted up a little bit, just to give me a little room to freaking breathe, and of course the guy moves right with me. So now Im hoping to God that this guy doesnt try to talk to me or anything because (as some of you are very well aware, lol), Im not a very socially outgoing person. Im not scared to be in public or anything, its just that engaging in small talk with strangers or people that I dont know all to well, makes me feel really uncomfortable. I have always been this way. Some people, Im afraid, take it the wrong way, and just end up assuming that Im being rude or unkind. But really, its just because Im a weirdo and some social situations freak me out. Anyway, so this man doesnt end up speaking to me, thank God, but he does start getting upset at the cashier lady because there was quite a bit of a line. He starts talking to himself, and he eventually got to the point where he ended up spitting on the back of my neck because of how uncomfortably close he was standing behind me. When that happened, I immediately turned around and said, Um excuse me, can you tone it down a notch, you were yelling to yourself so much that you ended up spitting on me just now. And then I added, and can you please move back some. Youre standing way to close, and honestly, its pretty creepy. When I said that, it seemed to embarrass the man, because the other people in line were laughing. But when it was all said and done, he moved away from me and he kept quiet the rest of the time. Ugh, I just cant stand being in public sometimes. I wish I knew what to do to make myself not as awkward, or shy around people. I hate that it sometimes gives the impression that Im a snob or that Im being rude. I just cant seem to get over my inadequacies. But what happened tonight was totally the guys fault. He was being a total creep. Lol.....Sorry for such a long post, good night everyone :)
