If you submitted something last week (Aug 26-Sept 1), please resubmit it here and it will still go up this week.

The submissions post for next week is linked below as usual.

Re: Friendly = creepy?

[omorka]

Maybe it's just me, but the idea that you're "supposed to" be able to get to know someone that you've never met before and don't have any friends or institutions in common with seems kind of self-centered. Maybe they have as many friends as they can handle at the moment and don't want the emotional investment and responsibility of taking on another one right now. Maybe they're an introvert, and dealing with other people at all takes energy, ones they don't know doubly so, and they just don't have the resources to spare right then. Why would you want to force yourself on them?

I mean, it's obviously different if you're in the same class together, or you're co-workers, or if you have friends in common who introduce you, although that last is still kind of stressful for me. But real strangers? The immediate stress and energy drain is really uncomfortable for me, and if someone doesn't pick up on that and disengage, especially after I've tried to politely disengage once or twice, then they're probably not a person who's going to be healthy for me to have as a permanent fixture in my life, anyway.
