I'd like to think that I've become pretty good at avoiding conversations with people. I can fake it to a point, then after about a couple of minutes, immense awkwardness comes over me and I immediately start to sound like a robot or a "yes" machine.
Today at the store, I got caught up talking to a woman who was great at conversation it seems. I was looking at a HUGE bag of pancake mix but I have given up pancakes b/c I try to eat gluten free for health reasons. She talked on and on about food! I mean, nice lady, very sweet, but come on!
There were several other shoppers who were rather chatty and I was able to shut them down before they started.
It made my twice weekly outting very uncomfortable and I wanted to go home immediately!
