I don't like going out in public too much. I dislike crowded places, and I wouldn't want to run into anyone I was in highschool with :? ... Other than that... I'd be okay I suppose... As long as no creeps hit on me.

I like shopping alone. I hate having people comment on what I'm buying or anything like that. I know like... When maybe a person in the store watches you...It's very rude. Needless to say, ever since I stopped wearing all black all the time, that doesn't happen as much.

I love Hot Topic. They don't have a store in my town, but I have been to their site. It's pretty cool, I bet the store is better, though.

If I ran into old friends...It would be awkward. They would either ignore me, or an awkward "Hi! How are you? I haven't seen you in forever... What's new? Oh cool.. Well I gotta go now, bye!"

For one, I never go out in public places like the mall or major shopping stores, besides Wal-Mart and the Dollar Store and Gas stations - places like that, by myself. I feel too awkward and it's too boring to me. When I want or need to go out, I usually drag another friend or a family member a long.

I know exactly how you feel with..trying to avoid running into that wrong person. Of course they're going to stare you down and try to intimidate you.

For me when that happens..of course I care, but I normally brush if off as if I could care less and stay in my own bubble of business. It's uncomfortable but the feeling will pass. Now...sometimes the person you run into isn't the kind to .... let things go. You know what I mean? They see you and pull that childish hollering crap, trowing shit, trying to start a fight...bleck. Normally when I run into THOSE kind of people, I move on elsewhere whether I want to or not, because those kind of confrontations are almost never worth it. Especially somewhere public. I'm a firm believer of handling those kind of businesses privately and one on one. None of that bring on your whole posse crap.

Anyway... I don't think things like that should stop you from enjoying yourself or going places you want to go and doing things you want to do or having to deal with an anxiety attack about it.

How I see it is...this is life. Shit you don't want to deal with just happens. Might as well enjoy it as much as you can, and just worry about those kind of bridges when you cross it. When you pass over move on. ^^

...I think I'm just rambling crap, so I'm done xD.

Really I don't even like seeing ANYONE I know out in public if they aren't friends. Are you supposed to wave? TALK to them? Just say hi? I usually end up ignoring them altogether to avoid the awkwardness. :oops:

I don't go to big gathering places like malls or movie theaters alone because of that. I'm scared to death I'll see a group of people I don't like hanging out there, and then I'll feel insecure and sad :[[[. That's why I only go to places alone that I know my enemies will never be in, like the library, or the used book store, or the park :]].

@Lolly; Are you stalking me!?
D<
You know... that's not healthy.
^______^

@fevertofuture; That's exactly how I feel.
D:
I really hate running into people because I don't know what to do when I do.
I just kinda go scatterbrained.
.______.
I guess I'm not that much of a people person or something.

  • no. o-o i don't have this fear. i don't mind going places because of people because i learned a long time ago to stick up for myself. xD And if they don't like me then that's their problem. I'm not going to stay home just because of them.

    if it was that way, i wouldn't even go to class! xD

    edit; oh and i like crowded places as long as people aren't pushy and shove you away from something! >< i HATE pushy/shovey people.

I hate going into Walmart when it's uber crowded. It just puts me on edge and makes me a bit moody too. xS I guess over all I'm just not a people person at all. .__. I guess that's why my friends and I make a lot of late night Walmart runs...not so many people. Which is a very happy thing. x}


Edgeworth 11-17-2007 07:20 AM

Ew, crowded stores.
That pisses me off to no end like you wouldn't believe.
;o;
When someone gets in my way, I just feel like hitting them.
And when older people go by...
They take soooooo long.
D<

wish 11-17-2007 07:22 AM

  • ooh well when you guys put it that way.. like standing in line and such! I hate that.. but if it's like watching things or it's like a outdoor sale type of thing where people set up booths, i like the busy-ness. ^^

Edgeworth 11-17-2007 07:24 AM

I hate busy-ness.
;____;
All the reason more I have to wait.
And I hate waiting.

FEH, I hate bumping into teachers I hate, teachers I talked to that I should of waved hi to but didnt, enemies back from elementary, friends that I dont want to see, my friend's friends that I dont want to have anything to do with, and my bishy relative >>' Augh, she accuses me of anything, at least it seems that way. I dunno, she hates me for sure.

Hah well, besides all these dangers, and SF being small and all, I still walk outside basically 2/3z of my day away xD Only once did I get into a fight~

Aisha Woku 11-17-2007 07:26 AM


I hate people who just stand in the isle and completely block it. I've had to go down a total of four isles before just so I could find an empty one to go up so I could get around the other side of the orginal isle I was trying to get down. >.< It's not really that big of a deal, but when it happens over and over again on the same outing it drives me insane. D;

Psh I know, I hate that too D : And when I try to get their attention, even scream they are like *shows hand to face and says loser behind my back* Although Ive only had it once in an isles, or such at shopping xD

  • *coughs*

    This actually came up maybe a month ago. I went to the mall with my parents, because they wanted to give me something for my birthday. While we were there, I started to get nervous. I had a falling out with a friend...and I'm not exactly sure why she doesn't like me anymore. :< But yeah, I didn't want to run into her. Luckily, I think she wasn't there...My fear of seeing her there isn't exactly out of place - she's almost always at the mall on the weekends. >_>;

Aisha Woku 11-17-2007 07:33 AM


Yeah, I've gotten a bit cranky in my old age. >.< I'm almost to the point of just pushing people out of my way when it's obvious that they are taking up the whole isle. I've even stood behind people before to let them know that I need by. Half the time they just look at me and continue with their conversation.... *shakes head* Sometimes I wonder how I even make it through a shopping errand.


yozoo 11-17-2007 08:16 AM

When I am out in public I feel that I am being watched.I don't like being alone because I feel nervous with no one with me.

mystic kiwi 11-17-2007 10:12 AM

I go shopping by myself a lot, but I don’t worry about seeing people I don’t want to see. I just ignore those kinds of people and they don’t bother me. As long as they don’ try to make an attempt to talk to me I’m fine with it.

Dark Evangel 11-17-2007 03:00 PM

When I go out, I go out to shop for myself, whether it be food supplies, manga or computer games. I'm not really a very social person in real life (oddly, I am the opposite online, though - very chatty and relaxed), so I am not too worried about meeting people in the street. I am just happy living by myself most of the year, as I get the privacy I often need :)

naruu 11-17-2007 04:28 PM

Mmmhm. The mall is where all our schools mall rats practically LIVE. I don't really like running into people, unless we're really close friends. :]

twizted child eve 11-17-2007 05:32 PM

Oh my god I have this fear all the time. I hate it. I feel like I can't go in the mall without thinking about if I run into someone or see someone that I don't get along with or that I don't like. I usually just ignore the person or group anyway. I never go alone. xD
