I recently experienced a dream where someone greeted me, but I just ignored her and walked along.

In reality, I do ignore people at times. Whenever somebody (in my house) says something stupid to me, I ignore her or him. When I’m in a foul mood, I attempt to avoid communicating. When creepy people outside try to get my attention, I attempt to ignore them. On December 2, 2014, I was ambulating home and these two intimidating men were advancing to the opposite of my direction. Somebody said ‘Sup man.’ I didn’t make eye contact or say anything. Then I heard somebody shout something loud that I couldn’t comprehend (maybe ‘Why won’t you say hi to me‽’). Luckily, he didn’t scare me, which is good because I could have spilt my drink.

In some other day, somebody was arriving home, and I ran to get out of her way. She told me ‘I wouldn’t run over you!’ I looked back for a second. She repeated herself, but I ignored her.

More recently, I was walking to a restaurant, and nearby I saw a petty collection of creepy men. They were ambulating in the direction in which I was advancing, so I ran to get away from them. Then some guy called Isaac ran past me as I was slowing down. ‘Isaac wins!’ Then I reattempted running, only to decelerate again. ‘Isaac wins again!’ I ambulated rapidly to get away from them. Somebody said, I think, ‘take care,’ but I was not paying close attention. Then when I entered the restaurant, another party—possibly the same one—entered as well. I was ignoring them, and after I paid for my food I rapidly ambulated out of there.

You can all say that I was being harsh by ignoring them, but distrusting strangers is perfectly normal and it’s not my fault that I was discomforted.
