Maybe, he should have taken the person’s address or telephone number to give to you and you could’ve made the decision to get in touch or not.

Re: Have You Ever Deliberately Avoided Someone?
I used to do it loads
I was much more anti social than I am now, if i saw someone in the street I would do a quick dodge so they could not see me, to be honest i feel a bit sad about now as I did like a lot of them and it does mean you miss out on a bit of social interaction, I have improved a lot now though and I do normally say hello to people I come across and often have a nice chat / reminisce with them

She was pretty upset as it was a busy road and one of the boys in our class died crossing it the same year. At that time I was afraid of her because she was loud and I found her overwhelming. The funny thing is that I really liked her as I grew older. She's still alive and is a really nice lady.
But yes I will still go to great lengths to avoid people I don't want to talk to. Mainly exes I suppose but also extreme extroverts who make me feel socially inadequate whilst feeding off my energy.
You were lucky not to have been hit by the car and I can understand you not liking the overwhelming woman’s loud voice.
I can’t bear rasping, loud voices, they do your head in and you can’t think straight!

I think some people don’t know how annoying they are and seem to love the sound of their own voice!

I admit to sometimes, dodging someone in the supermarket but somehow they still seem to catch me. I don’t mind, if l have the time but some rattle on for ages!

it usually depended on how much time you had before meeting up with them, supermarkets are a nightmare as if you miss them in one aisle you are sure to catch them coming towards you in another aisle
