I saw two of my neighbors at the large grocery store today and avoided both of them like a gay man avoids Fred Phelps. Why? So what, I have to do a brief stop and chat. The problem is sometimes the chats aren't brief. I wanted to get home and make supper, so I avoided both of them and then almost met them in the parking lot. Close call. Is this neurotic?

Doesn't everyone do this once in awhile?
 
Do it all the time. I dunno, I just have moods where I don't want to deal with certain people. Same way with family, and even online contacts. I don't do it to be rude or anything, it's more about my own insecurites than anything to do with them.

Only thing about that though, is if you keep pulling away from them, sooner or later they're going to stop making the effort.

Actually my avoidance of family, is more about not wanting to deal with the bs that usually follows them to my doorstep.
 
Not really. If I have a reason to avoid them, they usually have a reason to avoid me, so I don't have to put in the effort.
 
i do it too. sometimes i just dont feel like chatting.....
 
of course i do it, i'm too diva to say hi to everyone LOL
it's just that sometimes i'm not in the mood to saying fake ''Hi'' ''How are you doing'' etc and accepting fake answers from them... i still know they talk about me behind my back so what's the point?
 
Yea. When I worked in this huge grocery store my cousin who is my dad's age used to come all the time...he starts talking to me and never leaves while I am WORKING.
I just pretended I didn't see him... it worked sometimes.
 
I think everyone does it...

The main reason I do it is because my small talk isn't the greatest in the world. Add to that the crippling thought I have in the back of my head about whether or not people want to talk to me...

By which I mean, I may seem distant or perhaps arrogant by not speaking with people I know when I see them out; but I have some thought ingrained in my head about not wanting to bore people, and as such, I don't really start a conversation until I know that person wants to speak to me.

Strange perhaps, and like I said causes some people to misjudge my character, but that's my cross to bear...
 
Why avoid them? Why be fake? If you don't care for them give them the stink eye. If you are busy, say as much.
 
Sometimes I stalk them down - the aisles - then make a wide go-around - so i can come around the next corner and surprise -- OH - how are you? this is if it's someone from my old job and I want to get the skinny on what's going down there..

There are others that I see often enuff - that i just say hi - and move on --
you can tell if they are in a chatty mood or not - sometimes - its' THEM that's more in a hurry and trying to get a away from me !! Little fucktards! HEHEHEHHEHEHEHHEE !
 
Oh yeah, but you don't give a rat's ass about 'em so what does it matter? Truth in advertising, I say.
 
I do it most of the time. If I do see someone, I do the small wave or the upward chin motion unless it's someone I actually want to talk to. Last time I actually talked to someone I didn't really want to, it was an entirely painful experience. The majority of our talk was awkward silence trying to figure out what to say to one another.
 
No, I don't associate with people I don't like. If I run into someone I don't like at the grocery store, etc. and they try to talk to me I just tell them to fuck off.
 
Rarely (and in fact it's not often, anyway, that I even run into these people out and about), but there can be times that I'm in a genuine hurry and NEED to get going...then I'll avoid. I don't tend to do two-minute conversations, so I have to have the time available.

About 90% of the time I'll stop and talk, yes.
 
It depends on who it is..If it's a close friend of course I'll say whats up but if it's someone like a classmate or just a person I recognize I avoid them..for example, I saw my housemate at the gym and avoided him like the plague because we have nothing to talk about and when I see him around the house it's a quick "hey how are you?"
 
Only if I knew I'm going to be snared in a never-ending conversation.

And that happened quite a lot.
 
All the time - there are lots of people I avoid - for a multitude of reasons, not just because conversations tend to drag on.
