Disappearing man
I'm the disappearing man
I can't be found when
Anyone else is around
I fade into the background
Don't bother looking for me
I don't want your attention
Don't speak, you wouldn't understand
You'd just give me
That uncomfortable glance
I tell myself to leave
I don't belong here
There's really not much to tell
I feel like I'm in hell
When I'm around everyone else
See the door
Noone will notice me leave
Don't stay, just walk away
I can't be found when
Anyone else is around
I fade into the background
Don't bother looking for me
I don't want your attention
Don't speak, you wouldn't understand
You'd just give me
That uncomfortable glance
I tell myself to leave
I don't belong here
There's really not much to tell
I feel like I'm in hell
When I'm around everyone else
See the door
Noone will notice me leave
Don't stay, just walk away

Author's Note
About my social anxiety disorder. I feel uncomfortable in crowds and just don't feel the need to socialize with anyone else. And it really doesn't bother me, unless I'm forced into a situation where I have to do it.

Ah a common link...I tag myself as an "Introvert with misanthropic tendencies"...hate parties and despise small talk. Bravo!

I know. It feels so uncomfortable talking to people you hardly know about things that don't really matter. I've been this way for as long as I can remember.

It can be tough. I find myself always coming up with excuses of why I can't go out and do something. Thanks for reading!
I have always avoided attending large gatherings such as that of wedding receptions.
Due to my ill health I have not been working for the past two years, hence going out of my house to run errands or some other work seems torturous as I'm now all the more habituated being inside the safety of my house. Now, I just hate leaving my house. I'm supposed to visit my bank but have been procrastinating it for months now. 😏🙁

I'll be praying for you. If it weren't for work I'd probably stay at home all the time.

small talk and chit chat is overrated and oh so very annoying. I can relate to every line.
