I'm at a social event to which I was invited

@MellyMel22 It's like I'm inside my head and everything around me is background noise. Maybe that's part of the problem, that I'm inside my head too much. Too much monitoring and thinking and not enough connecting with the outside world when there's an opportunity.

Do you have any ice cream? I can't eat ice cream but I expect you to have some 😤

@ostfuidctyvm People tend to come right up to me and start odd conversations. I’ve had three people that I can remember cry to me that I had just met when they came up to me. Well, one was a pharmacist associate. So technically, I went up to her, but she held up the line and was talking to me and crying. I could be standing at a self checkout and people just start talking to me like really talking to me. And then I go home and I’m exhausted, like my energy you sucked out of me 😶 Of course I don’t mind being there for people if they need someone, I just don’t know why it takes so much out of me in person.

No. Someone ate my Häagen-Dazs 😡 I rarely eat it, but when I want to, it’s always gone. How about dark chocolate raspberry rings? 😋 When I get them, I usually get toasted coconut marshmallows and I haven’t seen them for like two years and pisses me off. Just in case you needed to know.
C’s why you can’t eat it?

@MellyMel22 You must give off a kind of nurturing vibe. It's like how I was never comfortable around children because I didn't know what was expected of me and was too self aware to do child talk but children always seemed drawn to me and I could never understand why. I mean, I'm tall, my face doesn't smile and yet children seemed to think that I was the one to communicate with. I think that sometimes people see things in you that you don't even see yourself. Kids especially.

I have a host of digestive issues that mean ice cream would just give me reflux and pain. A whole host of things mess me up, lol. Plus my digestive system is pretty slow and so I only really notice that I've f'ed up about an hour later and then I'm like 🤢

@ostfuidctyvm Its a good sign when kids look to you that way. They say kids sense good and bad.. I tend to pick up on a lot of their feelings before they even say a word. They must sense that I do because why else would they cry to a stranger? Or tell them their problems? Like I said, I don’t mind and my first instinct is to try to help them feel better. But I feel it after.

Oh no 😞 I’m sorry to hear that. I have original Altoids and a nausea dissolvable in my nightstand because I have a weak stomach. But you definitely have it worse and I hate that for you 😞❤
