Avoiding

Let's face it: We aren't gonna love every single person we meet in our lives. We're always going to come across people who displease us in a variety of ways, and it just can't be stopped. So naturally, as human beings, what do we do to make sure we never see them again? Oh, of course! We avoid them.

There are many reasons in which you choose to avoid someone. Ironically, one of them could be because of how fond you are of them (and by this, I mean you're highly interested in them). Why on earth would you go head-first into a possible, jovial conversation with your crush, when you can just avoid them? I mean, you're obviously just going to embarrass yourself if you talk to them, so avoiding them is just the best thing! I find this completely paradoxical, but I notice myself doing it sometimes.

Here's one I'm sure a lot of us can relate to. We call in sick to work, and we avoid the outside world for fear that someone we work with will see us. Or, we say we can't cover for someone's shift, and you avoid anyone that works there (or that place of work). Of course, some people might lie to avoid coming in for an extra shift, or even coming to a scheduled shift, and when they do, they use their avoiding skills to be unnoticed! Could you imagine how bad it would be if someone saw you after you told them you couldn't work that day for some obscure reason? Utter. Chaos.

Lastly, and everyone's personal favorite, we avoid people who just plain creep us the eff (that word that rhymes with "duck") out. Being creeped out is just one of those things that no one likes. It's just a statistic (I'm sure). Like, 100/100 people don't enjoy it. Anyway, you see said person, and you immediately think of a detour. Creepers just always be creepin', so you gotta stay away from them, right?

There's also things like avoiding an ex, but that's an obvious one. Once they're an ex, it's just a big, confusing cluster of emotions that you don't even want to deal with by seeing them.

So like I said, it just seems to be part of human nature. We avoid people because we just don't want to be uncomfortable. Discomfort is bad. Of course, it can be hurtful for the other person (if they ever found out...mwahahaha), but at that moment, we're only thinking of ourselves. Plus, who on earth wants a creeper to talk to them? Not I!

So I started a new poll. Go to the top right corner of my poll to vote!

Song of the Week!

This is, (as you can see on the title) "Sixth Sense" by Brown Eyed Girls. They're a super popular Korean band, and their comeback has been awaited by countless fans. This song and video just blew me away, especially the two girls' high notes. It's an amazing song! Listen!

Alright, that's all for now. Peace out, home skillets!
