((((Geisha)))) thank you for your post. I did have a work friend recently that I just could not be around because when I was with her outside of the office, I would become a nervous wreck. For some reason, I did not feel comfortable or safe with her at all. I had never felt that way around any female friends before. Perhaps she was as anxious / nervous as I, but she came off more as a hard witch to those that didnt know her.

Yes. The hyper energy was terribly triggering. I do recall in hindsight, as well, that the armed security truck was there picking up the money from the store, and I remember seeing the guard's face that was carrying the satchel...he looked a little on edge and had one of his hands near his service weapon and he was communicating a lot with the driver, so it registered as odd to me. and also I remember wondering if something was wrong.

Funny how I didnt realize until your post how I survey situations like that without even knowing / realizing it. So I was probably already more on guard than usual as soon as I parked the car.

Many thanks for more food for thought.
