I keep trying to be positive. I'm just having a rough time right now. I generally feel much like that. Or, as I've gotten ... |

| The kids don't really understand. For me, when I owned houses, they had to have a fence in the front yard. Many parents are inured to the sound of screaming brats and don't understand that some of us are not. We used to have a neighbour kid that would throw his basketball on the wall of our house (!... |

| Same reasons we eat mushrooms and yeast-raised bread - because non-animal organisms are often delicious. Some people call it umami, a rich complex flavour. |

| I've done it many times. It's just an act, and it can be revived fairly easily. Don't worry about what they may be thinking. Normies don't think that much about trivial exchanges, and even if they do it doesn't matter in the grand scheme. After you get used to trivial stuff again, you will be ready ... |

> Is an "I'm not comfortable disclosing it" okay?
Sure, say what you like. You don't have to tell anyone.
I find a good deflecting answer is another question, "Oh, why do you ask?" Then they stammer or babble a bit, giving you lots of time to change the subject. |

| No problem for me with stores. I don't consider those social in the least. I can play a role like customer, teacher, elevator occupant, whatever, as long as I have a clear idea of the role. If it goes social, beyond mindless niceties, that is where the problem starts, where it gets personal. |
