We were at wal-mart today and I was waiting out in the car for my parents. We have two small dogs and I was out there with them. So I was sitting their with my music blasting when the people next to us came out, say, about their late teens maybe? Well one of my dogs, Chilie (My mom spells it that way) was growling and I was keeping my back to her to hide that the people were their but she growled anyway, I said, "no" and at the time I was kind of looking their direction, bad idea... but it was an accident though... they looked at me and one of them thought I was talking to her... and few minutes later she had asked me if I was hot because I was wearing my hoodie with the drawstring headphones... I didn't hear at first so I took out my headphones and she repeated herself when I said, 'huh?'... I shrugged at her because I was nervous and I had shutdown before because of my 'no' reaction to my dog... and she said, "kinda?" and then she seemed to smile, same with the other girl and they got into their car... it made me a bit nervous because of how I hate interaction, especially when I have my music.
I mean there are times I can deal with social interaction with NTs. I got nervous because of that incident there. But at least they were still nice about me acting strangely... even though they were laughing before.
Does this kind of thing ever happen to you? >____<
