Lets talk about people we know/have met who are the total opposite of us.
-------
I met a man today who had no fears about pReTeNding to be lost in order to speak to me.
'Wheres the train station?'
'Take the left at the roundabout and follow it around. 5minutes max.'
'Oh erm, I think I'll take a bus ... which bus is it?'
'It's only a 5 minute walk.'
'So ... are you spanish?'
:x
Grr, well I thought maybe he was lost, or maybe he was lonely, or maybe hes shy (he couldn't look me in the eye the entire time). So I chatted a bit longer. The usual shit, where are you from? What do you do? Can you speak arabic? Are you a muslim? *yawn*
And then a couple walk past, both fairly young, dark skinned (possibly indian or pakistani) and the guy I was chatting to turned to the young man and said:
'What are doing?! You can't let that out of the house?! Thats just wrong?!' because his girlfriend was wearing a mini skirt and tight t shirt. What an asshole! My bus was approaching as this happened so I left him with 'What the fuck what that for!?' and jumped onboard. I wanted to stay longer and give him a grilling! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
What. A. Knob.
On a more positive note, my mother is the most un-SP person out there. She is really thick skinned and pretty unsensitive to physical pain and pressure or critisism. She's run a marathon, been a nurse during war time, been in tv audiences, been interviewed for tv in Iraq...shes crazy. I think also because of this she cannot comprehend the idea of social phobia. I haven't told her about it but I did once open up about depression. Her advice was ' aww don't be depressed, cheer up.'
The sentiment was there but, the understanding wasn't. :lol:

So, good and bad examples there of non-sp people. Next!
