Went to the cinema last night, I’m the easy one to spot, I’m the one who sits turned away from the person next to them, I sort of sit on one side of me, can manage my wife sitting on my other side. Having a stranger sitting next to me for three hours has left me drained. I haven’t been able to talk yet, We came home last night, my wife went to bed, I had to sit on my own with my arms wrapped around the sides of my head. I feel like my ‘ spidey senses’ are in overdrive.
Its always been the same, trains and theatre cause the same affect. The underground is worse, I struggle to understand how having people near to me is so draining. It’s like they are radioactive and pulling the energy out of me, I know I’m going to have to mask heavily this morning so not to cause an argument with my wife and make it all about me. Is this something that anyone else relates to, or is it just weird me?
No I can relate, at least to the underground. Cinemas not so much. Cinemas have nice wide seats with arm rests. That’s usually enough for me. Busses, you’re pressed up right against people in the seat next to you. Or standing trying to avoid the sway of the bus throwing you onto someone’s lap.
but the underground is so much worse. It’s like ‘hello I was just trying to ride public transport but apparently what we’re doing here is playing group 7 minutes in heaven.’ One more reason I prefer to drive.

I actually did that once when quite a lot younger.
I went into a train carriage, the train jerked and I did a twirl and sat on a man's lap.
Not one of my finest moments.
I accidentally kabedoned a girl on a bus because it went over a bump once.
