Maybe I'm right.
Too many people.
Violating my space.
Treating me like a doormat.
I'm afraid. Never make eye contact.
Apologize and back away.
Fear and hate. Hate and fear.
I treat them like they are more important than me.
Time for them to get out of my way.
Share the fear.

One of the sad consequences of our modern world is the de-humanization of the human condition. In past times, having the brain reactions to others that you have would have led to an occupation away from others. Explorer, pioneer, rancher, etc, depending on the era. Now, even though there are multitudinous occupations, there are a shrinking number of ways for those who need to be distanced from other people to fit into. This is a major cause of the Pharmaceutical Industry making up new diseases every year.
