I usually eat lunch in my friend's classroom... and most of my breaks I'm usually in my class doing work. I do chat with nearly everyone - but that's sorta cause I think it's how I SHOULD act more so than because I want to. I believe in being polite and friendly, so I stop and say good morning to most everyone. But it's only ever 1:1, if there's a group I tend to go past them. When I'm hypomanic though I will get a lot more outgoing and might spend more time in the staffroom. I only eat in there if my friend wants to eat in there, and I don't tend to talk too much at all when I am.
Never really noticed that since I DO talk to most members of staff. But that's like chit-chat - it is superficial conversation and I'm excellent at it. It's when attention is put on ME that I will flip out. (Like... last year I spontaneously ran the Talent Show. Getting up and talking on stage doesn't bother me - provided it's for the students and not for me. But also I was definitely hypomanic and actually on an anti-depressant that was making THAT worse... so I was on a roll. haha. But people complimenting me afterwards? I was TERRIFIED. I did not want acknowledgement in the slightest.)
