I hate being in public because I can't stand the mingling among strangers. If I knew that I could just go from point A to point B unnoticed, I wouldn't mind being in public. But that's not possible.
A couple times a week I'll stop by a fast food place, Starbucks, etc to grab something to eat. I have no intention of doing anything else other than obtaining my food and consuming it. But if I stay in the restaurant to eat it, I'll probably end up catching someone looking at me. :thumbdown:
I hate interacting with the cashiers too. Now I don't even try to make eye contact with them. Yes this small bit of social interaction is effort to me. I have encountered some cashiers who seem to get annoyed with me if I'm not all friendly and smiley and they'll shove my change back at me!
Grocery shopping has become difficult as well. People will go down the aisle and stare at me while I'm looking at products, until I turn to look back at them. I will now only shop early in the morning.
I will limit my time in public as much as possible. . I will try to do grocery shopping early in the morning (7am) and go to the laundry mat on weekend evenings. I'll pack more foods/snacks with me to prevent stopping by restaurants. Of course, I still have to go to class everyday. I'll try to walk more often instead of riding the bus.
I am tired of strangers staring at me. I do not give a **** if they think I'm ugly, hot, sexy, whatever--just leave me alone!
And do any of you limit your time in public to certain hours/days?
