I drove my mum's manual car today. I actually didn't do too bad which was surprising. I put the car in the wrong gear a couple of times and it's difficult getting the car moving from a stopped position, but otherwise it was fine. I still need to get more comfortable with it.
After a moment of clarity, I asked mum if she wanted to get lunch, to which she responded with an immediate and firm no. That ruined my desire to hang out with her more, as I had offered to pay for her, so it was lucky we went home. Throughout the time we spent, she probed me on careers and how I should be more social. I want to open up to her more, to tell her I'm not okay...but I stall. All the time. Maybe next time.
Anyway, the point is, the driving went well.
Glad to hear your manual lesson went well Mikey.
Thats sad that your mum felt the need to annoy and pressure you about your careers and social life.
It must be so frustrating to not be able to discuss how your feeling with someone you
should be able to rant with when you need to, without having to endure being questioned about things you don't want to talk about :/
So I was around people for an extended amount of time today, now I am feeling dejected and depressed. I bought a coffee from the super friendly coffee girl...who I observed to be very cheerful and pleasant to everyone....except for when I stepped up. Her face visibly dropped to discomfort and disgust. It happens to me all the time. I hate my stupid face.. that has to be the ONLY reason why people despise me so much.
I have seen your photo in the photo thread and I highly doubt her perceived expression of "discomfort and disgust" had anything to do with your face Shykiwi.
Maybe she was just tired at that moment. Maybe she realized how starving she was and was longing for lunch break etc. Maybe the last customer was rude or demanding and you just caught her expression in relation to them when they turned and left.
There could be many reasons that have to do with her expression and even what coyote suggested of her being nervous because she was attracted to you makes sense. I have worked in retail before, and I hated when I had to serve a good looking guy, as I was worried about making a mistake and saying the wrong thing to the customer.
Please don't automatically think her changed expression had anything to do with how you look. There could have been a million different reasons for it.
