Am I the only one who finds this uncomfortable?

Ok, I’ll see myself out then.

Last panel needs dark blue shirt guy looking in through the window.

When people compliment me I blurt out some gratitude then spend the rest of the day worrying I screwed up the interaction.

When I was in a grocery store when I was visiting my sister a guy told me he liked the pin I had on my sweatshirt. I don't get compliments often, so when I do they honestly mean a lot to me and stick with me. Sad and pathetic? Maybe, but I don't think it's unusual. Certainly not uncommon.

I hate "random" interactions like these. I usually wear headphones to avoid them, but some people are so persistent, they gesture to for me to take them off so they can tell me something.

Just keep your comments to yourself, if I wanted your opinion on something, I'd ask.
