Today at the conference I chatted for a long time with people I don’t know very well. We were working the booth for our employer, but we never see each other so we’re not familiar with each other. And the whole time I wasn’t sure if I was being socially appropriate. I felt like I was putting on a veneer of normality…pretending I was social when I’d really have been fine on my own. I often assume that the other person is laughing at me in their head, that I must look silly and be making a fool of myself. But I don’t know, because I think they thought I was fine. It’s very strange, and I think I do it a lot in social situations.
