I go out on public by myself all the time. I have no one to go with really, other than my fiancee, but he doesn't go shopping with me x)
I see people that I don't like/don't like everyday. it doesn't bother me, I just have to live with it.
I have a mean look, so I've heard, so that's a good way to keep anyone far away from me xD

ForkoFried 11-15-2007 11:29 AM

well, first of all, i never shop alone, i'd be bored to death!
and i absolutely HATE that!
i can't stand running into people i know out in public unless they're a relative or a very very VERY good friend!
Even people who i've hung out with i hate it!
mainly because i never go anywhere without some of my friends, and it's just plain annoying when more come!
It might just be because all my friends are either friends with eachother, or absolutely hate eachother, so i get jealous when no one pays attention to me xP

Edgeworth 11-15-2007 11:41 AM

@Sirec; Haha... I wish I didn't have a fear of it... but sadly I do.
It's nothing big... but I really just don't like going places by myself.
;_______;
I'm a MAN, dammit! XD

@Aisha; I hate stereotypes that are associated with clothing. It can be pretty lame.
I've just now started wearing darker clothes, and I find it funny how people who are dressed the same as me talk to me now.

@Sagitar; A mean look, huh? I'm too childish at first glance.
If anything, people aren't afraid to poke fun at me.
That was one of the reason I liked darker clothes.
Tends to make people shy away.
;DDD

@ForkoFried; I just hate running into people that know me... period. My family and friends are another story.
But people I know but not personally... it bothers me.
I shop alone sometimes, and I hate it.
Then again, it's nice to not have someone looking over your shoulder at what you're buying, though.
^______^;

There is something I do hate when I'm out shopping with friends. I really don't like it when I'm hanging out with one or more of my friends and they bump into a friend of theirs. It's not really that I'm jealous. I just don't like suddenly becoming a "third wheel". Sometimes my friends won't even introduce me, which kind of makes me sad because I feel like they're either embarrassed to be with me or don't think I'm important enough to meet their other friends. I also hate when they get into conversations between them and leave me out when it's a conversation I could be included in. I could pry my way into the conversation, but I think that's a bit rude. :S


ForkoFried 11-15-2007 11:47 AM

@ aisha, yeah I hate it when that happens too,
which is too much xD
except i hate it because i AM jealous, lawl

Water_Bender 11-15-2007 11:49 AM

hello everyone

Edgeworth 11-15-2007 11:53 AM

@Aisha; I know what you mean. I'm the only guy in a group of girls.
I tend to be a third-wheel a lot.
Sometimes I tell it right to them, though.
"Aren't you going to introduce me?"
or...
"I can see when I'm a third-wheel."
I've said it both ways.
It bothers me when I'm not introduced.
Especially when my closest friends won't even take the honor.

@Water_Bender; Please, if all you have say is hello, don't post here. This is the GD, and just saying hello can be considered spam on Mene.
It might be wise to read over the rules, thanks.

fears of being in public
well I had those sometime in the past being a teen or a girl but thank God I dont have those anymore.I mean I have a neighbor who wasnt nice with me but I really dont mind seeing them , I just ignore them because I know I am right and they are not so in any case, they are the ones that should be ashamed and not me.
So everytime I see them I just ignore them.

- shopping alone
Sure why not I love doing that, though of course If I am with some friends or mom or someone I like it makes it funnier but...I dont mind and I enjoy shopping alone with no pressure , rush etc...even I like it because I have the opportunity to buy things for other people and surprise them n_n small gifts <3

- being watched

I have felt that being a teen, there used to be an old security man on the supermarket and he didnt like teens and always watched me and my friends like you will steal something xD and then when mum sent me to buy something I thouht he was watching me...>>;;

- Hot Topic
What's that??? o.o

- old friends
soemtimes I have to admit I dont like finidng old friends cause i feel akward...sigh Im such an antisocial >.<

Thunder 11-15-2007 02:49 PM

I actually wouldn't mind shopping for clothes alone, as long as it was during the day. My boyfriend usually goes to the store with me though and I'm always rushing because I feel like torturing him by making him sit there while I'm trying things on. Guys seem to hate that. xD

However, I won't go alone if it's night. I'm paranoid, I guess. I'm not worried about seeing someone I know that doesn't like me because it's been about two years since I last got into a huge fight with someone so I doubt they'd even recognize me now. xD It's the people I don't know that I'm worried about. I'm also terrified of being pulled over by a cop when I'm alone. Not because I've done anything wrong, but I've read too many horror stories. Even though I love the night, when I'm out on my own during the night, I'm out of my comfort zone.

Meeting old friends can be kind of awkward. I did this the other night actually. Once you get passed the 'how have you been' thing, it seems like there's nothing else left to say.

juno rally 11-15-2007 03:03 PM

i dont like going into public alone unless i have to. not incase i bump into some one i dont like, just in case i bump into some one dodgy :\ i dont like it round here its got more voilent.

if its like a mall or a really public place were there are loads of people then im fine.

- fears of being in public

I'm not really afraid to bump into someone that I haven't seen in a while or something like that...it's refreshing to see someone that you may miss or haven't seen them in a while...However, I work at my public library and I see a lot of people I haven't see since I graduated or something like that...and while it's great to see them...I'm always walking around helping people and you say 'hi' to them once and then you see them again, and again, and again....and you're like do I say 'hi' or not? But you don't want to ignore them either...so sometimes I'll avoid where they may be sitting. :sweat:

- shopping alone

I will to shopping alone in like a store like JCPenny...or Kohl's I will NOT shop alone in the mall, especially that mall that is close to me, because recently...well like 2 months ago a woman was walking out to her car and she got stabbed! And I don't live in 'the bad part of town' or anything...I kind of live in a...(for lack of better work) 'rich' area, so that also may be why she was attacked...they stole all her stuff. D: So if I'm going to the mall I will ALWAYS go with something...boyfriend, mom, sister whoever there is always one other person.

- being watched

Well...like I said I work at my public library, and let me say...I have to deal with MESSED UP people...a guy that I work with Jim said that he was by my desk talking with me and he noticed this guy just staring at me with this half smile on his face...CREEPY!! And I didn't even notice it.

- Hot Topic

lol HOT TOPIC! Honestly I like this store because of the t-shirts and fun things that they have. I'm not a gothic-ish person or anything and honestly in high school people like that scared me, but I was short sighted...now when I go into hot topic although I'm not into all of the tattoos and piercings I find that they are honestly some of the most friendly and helpful people I've ever met (store wise)

- old friends

Nothing much to say about old friends...:)

Queen Nehalania 11-15-2007 03:41 PM

I never shop alone because I can't get to anywhere alone. xD
I just have my permit and I have to have supervision and all that.

Anyways, I always shop with my parents. I've never went shopping with a friend... Although I would LOVE too... Its just some problems I need to deal with first. I am making progress though.

Also, I hate to run into anyone that I know. Whether it be a friend, enemy, doctor, teacher, anyone. Mostly because I don't know how to act, or if I should say anything.
As for enemies I wouldn't say anything to them anyways...
And I keep running into my ex-boyfriend and I hate him... I ran into him when I was trick-or-treating with a few friends and it was very awkward. He still will not speak to me though he'll be looking at me a lot... I still manage to turn his head.

Anyways, I feel like I'm being watched most of the time because I'm paranoid. Its not because I'm doing something bad or anything, its just very uncomfortable.
I like to stay closeted in my room even away from the eyes of family members. Its just my comfort zone I guess.
Also, I hate being watched by men... I'm scared, and I don't know how to act.
I hate to say it but mexicans (not crackin' on the race, and I'm not racist, so don't be offended. Its just these certain ones...) Well they will stare me down and sometimes follow me or stand there and gawk at me.
There was this one time that a whole group of 5 or 6 guys walked by me while I was with my mom standing at the magazine section in Wal-Mart. They suddenly stopped near me at the cards section and started staring at me. I got scared and grabbed a big Ripleys Believe it or Not book to cover my face...
Then I freaked out while they still wouldn't go away and I tried hiding behind my mom. Yeah I have problems.
Also some middle-aged men will do this too and its very creepy.
I hardly ever get noticed by people my age. Its just weird...

8bit Girls Bravo 11-15-2007 04:54 PM

There are some times when I really, really don't much feel like running into people I know (like if I'm really tired or sick and look like shit and I'm just running errands), but most of the time I like running into people I know. :D There are maybe 2 or 3 people that I want to avoid, but for the most part I run into more people I like than dislike. Usually we end up hanging out either then or sometime later that day.

It's awkward when I run into old friends though. Usually (USUALLY; not always) if I haven't talked to someone in a long time it's because I didn't /want/ to talk to them. So I never really have much of anything I want to say to them. Oh, and I'm a very social person -- I think pretty much everyone is like that.

Also, I love shopping alone. <3 Sometimes I like a good shopping trip with friends but there are times when I know exactly what I need, and I just want to get in and out of the store as quickly as possible. Sometimes I bring my boyfriend along for those occasions (if he needs to do the same kind of thing in the same area) but usually I just go by myself.

I don't mind going out alone at night, because I feel like I'm in a very safe place. I rarely feel threatened or afraid at night.

shellthabunny 11-15-2007 06:00 PM

I HATE running into people that have the nerve to pretend to be 'friends' with you still.
I don't have too many good ones anymore and everyone else who used to be my friend well, we have all drifted apart and no longer really care for each other.
It's just plain awkward..

aonith 11-15-2007 09:27 PM

hate the fact that the city I live in is rather small and I happen to meet people I know everytime I go out shopping/hanging around and stuff. Really annoying. It doesn't even matter for me if I'm in good terms with this person or not... When I'm out, when I have some aim and work to do, I just don't feel like meeting anyone.
This is one of the biggest reasons why I want to live in another, big country -____-"

DelilahHeart 11-15-2007 09:42 PM

I personally don't like even going to places with people for some reason. I'm not sure why i just get nervous whenever I go somewhere. In other words I am kind of afraid to just be in public alone.

I can't listen to music loud in my car because I'm afraid that people will hear the music and suddenly be aware of my existence. That or they will start watching me. It's kind of creepy to be honest.

I haven't been to hot topic in such a long time. I think its mainly because I don't go to the mall, I have no money, and as for seeing old friends, that doesn't happen because I don't really go to the mall really.

Kimiko Kohana 11-15-2007 09:47 PM

I don't really not like anyone. xD More like, if I go out, I TRY to find someone that I know. If I'm shopping alone, I'd be scared that I'll get kidnapped or something. >_>; I'm just not used to it. I love groups and being with friends.

H_e_a_r_t 11-15-2007 09:48 PM

  • I know what you mean. I hate seeing people i don't want to see again in public... Not that i hate them or they hate me but i rather not being involve with them again. It's awkward and weird, i don't know how to explain my feelings. It's and odd thing for me really. I meet someone and knew a while back and hated that i met them again even though we weren't exactly in bad terms. oh well, i'll just smile and greet as if i felt nothing. xD

Hokuto 11-15-2007 10:10 PM

I always going shopping with friends because its not fun when you're alone, lol. And most of the time I do run into people I know, half the time someone I don't really want to see.. In which case I make small talk with them and move on. Haha.

psyrien 11-16-2007 05:34 AM

I've never really had people that I wanted to avoid turn up--oh wait, nevermind. I did. Once. There was this irritating guy from work who just HAPPENED to show up at the same movie as me. What made things worse was that my brother also knew him because he worked at the same place before, so he was like you should go say hello. And of course I didn't want to. I lurked at the edge of the crowd and hoped that he didn't notice me. Luckily, I escaped without having to talk to him.

Now, I don't understand why I have to always randomly run into the annoying people. Why can't I run into the people that I actually want to see? >[email protected]

life in red and black 11-16-2007 05:47 AM

I have a reputation for never noticing people around me (always reading a book, lost in thought, etc.) - comes in handy if I actually Do recognize someone around me.

clock 11-16-2007 05:50 AM


I hardly ever go out alone. :0 It seems that whenever
I go out, it's with my bf, sister, or parents [even
though I'm 18, haha]. But it was nice when I moved because
I didn't see anyone I went to high school with around there.

secretdae007 11-16-2007 02:11 PM

I really have no issue with going out and possibly seeing someone I don't like. I just ignore them. If they even try to talk to me, I'll just walk away (I'm pretty good at maneuvering through crowds and escaping people).
Though I generally don't go places, like the mall, without someone. But that's for safety reasons more so than anything

Lolly 11-16-2007 02:16 PM

XD<3

I don't fear going out in public,especially the mall.
Though its a breeding ground for "dem gangstas u no"?
I've seen many of my arch nemeses in the mall before though D<
I just completely ignore them as if they weren't there is they say something.
It ticks them off and I don't have to speak to them.
;D

goldfish67 11-16-2007 08:57 PM
