bemyneighbor: your reasons shall forever be considered private and confidential.
I don't need to avoid anyone in my everyday life. I guess I don't share the same space with annoying people. And if I have to I'd just move. People are not trees, you know...

If someone keeps nagging me about how I'm doing, then I tend to want to avoid them. It's like, I want to "sort" this--asking me about it isn't helping! But I realize that people are often just trying to be helpful--communication is a very fine, delicate matter.
I've never been a people person. I was a loner in school. Then I got married and he forbid me to invite people, even my parents to our home so that's how my life went.
After his death I had to work but people didn't seem to want to talk to me. I was pretty and always wore a suit to work. The other women in the office didn't take as much care in their appearance so they treated me as an outcast. In a law firm you can't believe what anyone says so it didn't bother me that I avoided them as much as they avoided me.
Now I'm at the point if someone does stop to talk to me I keep my distance cause I don't want them to touch me not even in a friendly gesture.
