I'm always friendly to people on a very superficial level. What I fear is 'developing a friendship'. I never know the steps to the dance, so to speak. Since I abhor the telephone, I don't know if I'm supposed to call them to 'chat' ~ which I always talk myself out of... and I'm so uncomfortable in any interaction, even just having coffee somewhere, I nearly always decline invitations til they get tired of asking. The few times I have put myself ' out there ' it ended in disaster!

Azul: Liked your reference to the weird 'power'. I've felt for ever that I can 'read' people and see what they are really like faster and better than normal people.
