Five buses are stopped in front of my bus stop. The noise they make is understandably loud. If one is enough to cause discomfort imagine 5 noisy motors. One of the bus before starting to move makes that ear piercing bell sound indicating the doors are about to close. Then sounds the horn.
Seconds before reaching the bus stop I was reflecting how annoying the sound of a child doing a fake cry feels like. One boy was sounding like an ambulance "ioin! Ioin! Ioin!".
I pass him and his mom released I was going to distance myself and avoid being exposed to the noise much longer. Another kid had pass me riding a scooter and I was glad he didn't put himself in my way like sometimes kids do. It's funny... I've never realized kids do not have a good sense of space and distance.
Has I passed the "ambulance like" boy, I start going down the pavement. It's when I start to ear a loud noise of plastic wheels approaching me. Sure enough it was a kid on its scooter - most likely the same I thought I was safe from encountering again because it had just pass up me. Descending in high speed I was hoping he wouldn't turn left like I was turning. But sure thing he did. I had to slow down my pace and stop, fearing this kid would cross my path and cause an injury to himself. He stop just next to me. Screaming to someone way behind him.
I had just walk pass a cigarette smoking guy and three people walking slowly but taking the all sidewalk for themselves. Breathing cigarette smoke in this heat of 30 degrees in a slow pace under the strong sun ☀️...
Not for me, thank you.
This sort of daily things don't stress me a lot but they do affect my nerves a bit. It's like I cannot walk on my own pace everyone is everywhere not paying attention or doing proper walking. Some just walk out of some shop and come to a full stop right in front of you, that it is walking on a strait line on the street. Many here, after entering a shop very slowly, decide to stop in the entrance, blocking the passage to everyone else wile deciding or coming to a group agreement we're to go first.
It is exasperating. Sometimes I suspect people here lack basic Notions of conduct behavior. Or is it me?
One of this days I was walking down a busy shop lane and a kid on a scooter comes behind me and turns into a stop in front of me. He did this 3 times and by the third I rolled my eyes and gesticulated in frustration. My concerns were about hurting the kid. But I didn't wanted to have to stop my normal pace of walking just because he kept appearing and breaking in front of me.
Has I roll my eyes a woman comfortably sitting on a bench said:
- "Oh my fuck*** God!"
I assumed she was remarking my attitude, ignoring my reasons and the context. So I just returned her "F* God" followed by a "what?" without even stopping or looking back.
Another person that steps hight in their moral horse 🐎 to criticize who they don't know. This phenomena is something that became so common In today's society. It is like a cancer. People have no modesty and are quick to judge, specially if it's is to criticize and put someone down. Even good actions done with good intentions are "murdered" in seconds on social media.
They don't they realize they are part of a big problem. That they are indulging it. Making it grow. It being intolerance, rush judgment, insult, disrespect, etc.
I cannot stand what the Internet calls "trolls". Which are people full of themselves that pass judgment and criticism to someone else, generally using insult and offense. But always very judgemental as if they know you and who you are.
That woman sitting on the bench was being a troll. Maybe she didn't knew it but she was.
I've read in a book and I never forgot it since about social anxiety. I think I suffer from it. I like people but I am shy with them. I like people but crowds are unpleasant to me. I do not feel very satisfied when I go to the shopping mall and one can hardly move.
