It can be anything: at your job or any forced activity that you just don’t feel like doing surrounded by other people. Visiting certain place, local, party, etc. It can be anything: at your job or any forced activity that you just don’t feel like doing surrounded by other people.

I had to accompany my young brother to a small comic con thing a month ago and I was cringing HARD in that place I couldn’t bear being there, I just kept my head down most of the time otherwise I would’ve just start laughing or rolling my eyes looking all that adult people dressed like it’s a shitty Halloween party.
But why? Poor hygiene, people being immature, why?
Any time I read a story about people responding to a controversy by spending a lot of money at a particular company or donating to a political party.
It’s because on my Mastodon feed I see post after post after post of people needing mutual aid, and I wish people cared more about that than spending their money on self-righteous capitalism.
Any secular group activity where someone thinks they need to “lead us together in prayer”. Dude, this is a Wendy’s.
I think the worst is forced companionship, like getting together with a family for birthdays and stuff. The meaningless chit-chat… The being nice even though you know there are some that can’t stand each other. Once you’ve had some unforced editions of these, like with friends or just people you get along with easily, it becomes blatantly obvious how uncomfortable it gets when it’s forced.
Sitting around politely listening to someone poorly play music or worse, poorly sing. This has happened very rarely to me,and the bad guitar was embarrassing but the other instances, the singing, where we all were trying and failing not to wince at every high note and marveled at exactly how long a 3 and a half minute song could really be while this poor wretch clearly had no idea what he sounded like…god that was an awful experience that goosebumps are reminding me of even now.
