I'm trying so hard, but I truly feel I'm not built for most human interactions.
My first rant is someone who accused me of upsetting her because I didn't let them say hello to a dog they recognised! Yet it was OK for them not to ask me if they could, and my arm gets yanked because of their interaction! I'm the bad guy..
Next was the most disgusting dirty look because instead of letting two dogs bark with intent at the end of a lead with the person trying to pass and say how loving they are! I naturally grabbed the scruff, and one dog stopped on the button whilst the other had a 2 seconds paddy, then stopped, but again, I was the bad guy!
The last one was a cocky builder who thought he would unlock his van as I get close to it! Making the dog jump, I look back to just see a massive grin and not even near the van. As I look back one more time, the bloke said with a laugh! Let me come say sorry to the dog and did not like the fact I stopped him by saying, "It doesn't understand English, so the apology should be for me." Again, I'm the bad guy and deserve the abuse for not letting him "say sorry" and have no clue, need to get a life, and i dress like a clown...
Well, that's GOOD! because this world is nothing but a circus with all of us running around pretending we are important.

Disparity in feelings and thoughts the barrier to social interactions where communication lacks traction in a world of multiplicity. A poem that leaves a feeling of alienation and misunderstanding. Nicely worded
Thank you kindly my friend and the use of the word "alienation" felt perfect as that's what I feel walking around most days.
Really appreciate your time
You are most welcome
You're doing just fine - they are TOTALLY unimportant........ stop worrying......... you're perfectly ok.... just go your way...........dogs are better company anyway.
Forever trying to be my friend and only better company if they have not been messed up by misguided individuals. Thanks for helping me along my way.
Say it like it is mate .. I have no doubt you will feel better for it .. and remember, there's nowt so queer as folk .. (I use the term queer not in any historically offensive or rude way .. nor as it appears to have been corrupted and morphed which I admit I struggle to get my head around despite not having any obvious prejudices but as it was originally meant to mean .. i.e as odd .. Write on brother Dan, don't let em get ya down & take care 🐕😎👍
That really made me laugh out loud! Thank you as I heard my late grandmother in that saying! And then I chuckled more because you felt the need to check I wasn't offered so delightful..
Thanks again buddy..
Oh I also think it's just going to keep getting odder
Sense of frustration and alienation with the world, as it presents unneeded and unwarranted issues. Nicely expressed and written. You have your best friend by your side, it will turn out ok.
So unneeded but yet i know so how deep down I create or attract most of these moments, as I am frustrated at the world.
Really good to see you and appreciate your time my friend.
You are very welcome
