Is it Bad?

When I'm at the grocery store minding my own business and I hear a voice I don't want to hear in the next aisle--I shudder. This is the voice that brings the feelings of "Ugh! I don't even want to talk to them today. Why did I have to be here at the same time?" (harsher words flit through my mind, but these are suitable for typing!) Is it bad to put blinders on and dash past the voice infected aisle hoping they don't spot me? After speeding to the checkout I nervously glance around the whole time waiting for the voice to find me and strike up the dreaded conversation. Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this. Please, pretty pretty please? (And please don't tell me I'm the one you run away from!)

I've hidden from voices before...and I would not hide from your voice.

No, I would not hide from you. I am not even sure what you sound like anymore! However, the ones I dread are the ones who come up to me and know me VERY well. And I have zero clue who they are. I tend to want to hide when they appear..especially if they show up more than once! At least until I figure out who they are..then, I want to hide from embarrassment!

it's okay as long as the voices you are hiding from are not just in your head.

True-voices in the head are one's to truly worry about. Nah...this was a real voice. (It was one of Aaron's coaches from the past--I just won't say which one.) This guy's voice and exuberance are unmistakable.

It's most definitely NOT bad. Run Laurel.... run like the wind!

It's only bad if
1. The voices are in your head. I've tried to run away from those voices myself.
2. The voices are your children
3. The voices are begging you to dial 911

It's me isn't?

I thought I saw you run by in a panic with a cart full of groceries and with a little boy in cowboy boots beside you.

Now I know.
