whenever I go outside, especially in public places and around town I feel that everytime a person walks past me it is a psychological hell. I see the stranger coming from like 20 yrds away and quickly I look down, avert my eyes, and then as I get closer to them I feel like they are doing the same thing and looking quickly and pretending that they don't notice or care. but in my experience, i notice every single person I pass on the sidewalk and actually think about them. IWalking down the street is a nightmare now because I have this deep psychological interaction with every person I pass. Will I look away or look them in the face? If I look them in the face, they win. If I look away, I win. But then they realize I'm gonna look away and they look away first, so they win...it's a struggle, every day just walking down the street it's a psychological struggle. can anybody else relate?
