Wearing headphones with no music to avoid talking to other people
You can’t just tell someone you don’t feel like talking, can you? But what you can do instead (most of us have already done it) is putting your headphones on and pretending that you are listening to music to avoid any type of conversation.
It’s not that you’re anti-social, it’s just that you’re more productive when you are listening to music. Just don’t forget you’re not supposed to hear anything around you! Refrain yourself from interfering in any of the conversations if you don’t want to blow your cover!
Pretending not to see someone in public
“Did she see me? No, she didn’t. Just keep walking, a few more steps and I’m safe!” Does this sound familiar to you? If it does, then you surely know that the person you’ve been trying so hard to avoid saw you for sure.
People resort to all sorts of tricks to avoid talking to someone, from looking at their mobile phones to searching their purse or looking the other way to avoid eye contact. It’s not that you like ignoring people, but sometimes, you just don’t feel like being social.
