I have a big fear of running into people, too, Forgotten; that's part of why I stay in all the time, but it's not a good plan.
I wish instead I could just run into everyone I dread seeing all at once and get it over with, and then never have to run into them again. <sigh>
Sending good energy to you, your friend, Peanut
