I think like you,that a lot of people don't know how to act around you when they find out.And I have found,that it's often the people who are usually the most outgoing.I have had three examples of this in the past week.One,my neighbour(yes!) who has not come near me:a lady who I am usually very friendly with,and when I sent her a text msg yesterday,just to catch up,she sent me a long msg back saying that she hadn't wanted to intrude,and a man at a shop that I often go to,who so obviously puts his head down an runs the other way when he sees me coming.Its not that they don't want to talk to you,they just don't know what to say.I think too,it's especially hard if you are the sort of person that would be there knocking on their door if the shoe were on the other foot.Try not to let it worry you too much.Cheers Robynxox
