Not a fan of bumping into people and feeling obligated to make small talk, and all of that stuff. It’s a totally different experience depending on: if I know the person well, just barely, or to a complete stranger. They each create different: pressures, demands and expectations, and I can honestly say I struggle more with bumping into people I know, compared to a stranger. I’m generally so caught up with the myriad of thoughts, worries, problems, things-to-do, my own lack of self esteem and self worth, that trying to then have to switch on ‘masking mode’ can now often be near impossible.
