Don’t you just hate the awkward silences or the forced conversation you thrust upon other people when you get nervous.
I tend to do likewise when meeting new people, bumping with lads you don’t wish to meet or facing with the ex.
You would of course try your best trying hard to be a chameleon and pretend that they didn’t notice you, but most of the time, such encounters are unavoidable.
At that point of time, I just wish someone would just sedate me! I just wanna bury myself after the awkward encounter as most of the time, you would usually say something stupid; well in my case I always do.
I just hate such forced conversation.
You can’t obviously say what’s actually on your mind, for not wanting to be rude nor can you excuse yourself, as once you acknowledge that person, you’re obliged for some reciprocal ‘pleasantries’.
Why do I necessarily put myself through such stress and pressure of this absurdly stressful and awkward effort.
Haiz. It’s a weird complicated world … any of you face such similar encounter?
its all about wayang aint it?
pretending its a nice surprise to have bumped into that someone. pretending to be interested to know his/her updates in life.

I’m also suffering this kind of problem every now and then.. communication problem usually depend on my mood.. this happens probably because I’m part introvert. This should be a good read: http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200303/rauch
