I used to get 'get out of here right now, you will BURN yourself'.
Not that I was even anywhere near the stove...
It's really hard when you go somewhere and all the women head off to go be social around preparing food :-(
I hate it. And I have to ask what they want me to do because I have no earthly idea and don't have any initiative whatsoever.
And its always really awkward and embarrassing and downright humiliating.
'Can you cut these up'
'How big?'
'What shape?'
And the slightest comment...
And I'm mortified.
Thats what was so hard about my holiday.
With my friends mother being there.
I just wanted the earth to swallow me up
:-(
> That's great, it's so freeing. I've gotten a lot better at just saying "No, I'm sorry I can't, and if they press I just say, that's the way it is" If they push, *they're* being rude. Good friends understand each others idiosyncracies, if these people can't, well no matter how much you socialized with them, they probably would never feel like true company anyway, so what's the point?"Yeah. Thats right. I do feel a bit better. I'll just have to see what my mates are up to tonight... Avoid home tonight. My flatmates aren't my mates anyway. And they already know I'm odd. I used to tutor a couple of them ;-)
And they should be studying about now anyways ;-)
