Does anyone else get anxious when they hear a knock on the front door?

Hi all. Wave

Do you get all anxious when someone knocks on your front door and you just want them to go away? The abruptness and unknown makes me really tense. Needless to say, I never answer my door unless I am expecting someone or a package. If it's important they can text me (should they have my number) or drop a note through my letter box or something.

I also don't answer phone calls from unknown or numbers that I don't recognise. If it's important, they usually text or leave a voicemail.

  • I get fed up with the phone ringing or a text arriving, but almost the only person who knocks at the door is the postman or delivery driver, if I'm lucky I might get a Jehovas Witness to play with.

  • Dark comment?!   I will choose to ascribe it to humour.

  • ah you have the blue and the red pills handy. A good strategy -as long as the affects wear off over time.

  • It might be over rated, but it is immutable.

    Alas immutable is something I have come to take with a big old pich of salt.

    Once you start looking into quantim physics you start to realise that things are really not as solid or defined as we think. If you start researching into the nature of time and realise it is not as linear as we imagine then the very construct of reality we hold true starts to look decidedly shaky.

    Look into issues like quantum entanglement and you realise the speed of light is not a limit at all, look into gravity dilation and the nature of time goes out the window etc - we built the rules of reality largely to avoid looking into the abyss that lies beneath it all.

    Sometimes it is nice to forget all the facts and live in the imaginary construct we call reality - it helps us from losing the plot.
