Cognitive Dissonance

You are exceedingly difficult to talk to. It isn't just that you are a bore, but you also have habits that are unseemly to the point that it is nearly impossible to to have a prolonged discussion with you. You are constantly picking at your ears, your nose, and maybe the most disgusting and off putting, your eyes. I go reeling from your presence after watching you absent-mindedly extract some unknown substance from your eye, inspect it coolly, and cast it aside. Perhaps you developed this habit as some way to overcome an agoraphobic bent. If you were to act as you may when alone (wallowing in filth), you do not have to worry about the prying eyes and hurtful judgements of those you encounter. Let me provide you with the assurance that we can see you. You are not invisible. And I for one am worse for that fact.
