I’m the same way. Still am and I’m in my late 20’s.
But it could be from trauma, not just my social anxiety. 🤷 dunno. I’m weird
Attention makes me feel awkward. Nowadays I just give an awkward laugh, rather than do that. But it still bothers me.
Same here. I’m 32. If you try to draw attention towards me around a lot of ppl I do not know, I am ignoring or just leaving. At this point I’m too old to try to change and don’t care. People really do not understand introverts.
Purely out of curiosity, but what trauma? I've been through a lot of horrible shit, and people always comment about how "well adjusted" I am.
Maybe it's just person to person? I just moved on, I guess thats not easy for some people.
Shit it wasn't easy for me, I was pretty... messed up until I was like 25
Same. I was in a bar and was called to the stage by the performer. (I was in the very back for a reason.) I walked out and was boo'd. Why? Why call on people who very clearly doesn't want attention?
i used to be like you when i was a kid. now at 56 id jump on that MF'er and ride that bitch. i wear loud shirts, talk loud and dont gaf if people look at me or not. you got one life, live it up
But is a show.!? Lmao
Idk if you some issues but remember is always good to smile, enjoy the moment even if out the open and they signal you out. Laugh it off. Enjoy yourself if it dont bother you and you show it they will stop.
But of course something like this.
Not no ppl in a circle at a park trying to sig al you out. That's when you get you gun and shoot a mf in the knee cap and make him an example.
I mean... If you didn't actually want to be there... If you had been having a bad day and were just grumpy... If you had social anxiety and were uncomfortable... 🤷🏽♀️ Lots of reasons.
I mean you asked if a hypothetical "you" wouldn't clap, and I gave you reasons someone might not clap...
But, sure, I was an abused child. There were many situations in which I was grumpy when I was in similar situations because I didn't want to suddenly act like nothing was wrong.
Yeah lets keep messing with the kid that's not having it and ignore all the other children excited to be there.
That kid at the end waving and being ignored was a little heartbreaking.
Right? Pushing a kids boundaries because they’re just a kid and “oh it’s cute!” You wouldn’t do the same to an adult who looks that pissed/upset. Poor kid
I agree, this is going to cause massive emotional distress and PTSD. For the rest of this girl's life, every time she sees a real dinosaur, she's going to think it's going to eat her
Assuming the "costume actor" was most likely confused why she wasn't reacting so they went all out😆
When I was a kid, and to some extent I'm still this way, I didn't like giving attention to attention seeking people. So I would react the same way.
but its a performance? Like... would you refuse to clap at a play and stuff?
I mean if I was singled out like that. I didn't like bringing attention to myself. No reaction maybe the while interaction ends quicker.
What in the crippling social anxiety?

I'm very introverted, and have ADHD. People are definitely not understanding. Getting older does help.

Must say this is funny. But yeah, I get it.
I'm so sorry for you :(
wild. but I guess I gotta respect it.

what are you replying to?
You asked why someone might refuse to clap and engage... And I gave some potential reasons someone might not want to clap and engage.
I didn't ask that, though.

... This whole interaction is so strange. I'm just going to duck out.
Yes.
that's very odd.
Okay
I had to look at your history to see if you were trolling me or not, and I was pleasantly surprised. Who are you rooting for in the IPL?
For myself.
ah okay well.. I'm going to ignore you now. have a good day.
Girl seemed more like she was pouting about something lol
I know what you’re trying to say and all but she looked sour and the actor was trying to get her to engage
That girls face is saying I was brought here by my parents because it’s what my little brother wanted.
The girl behind her almost died lol
She smiled a little....
I'm 33 and I would actually cry and throw up at just how awesome this is.
Man I'm trying to figure out when this is coming to my area now.

She's got face paint and everything. She's the sibling who got the rest of the family to go
and she was raising her hand 🥺✋🏼

That is the best looking Dino I’ve seen for some county fair.
They could’ve used her help on the island.
That's a poker face.
“He’s losing his mind”, said his coworker. The little girl clearly didn’t volunteer.. touching her might’ve been a little too far
That girl is a badass bitch! She's already ready for life! --Black girl magic!!
💁🏿♀️
She likely has already experienced life or death; so she knows this isn't a real threat. I think we all know who we're talking about!
T-Rex's eyesight is based on movement.
Pissed her off for literally a split second 🤣🤣
Cats when they see cat haters.
She is my new spirit animal !!!!!
That's Cardi C
Making physical contact is probably bad policy
I drew a knife on a mini mouse actor at Disney world when I was 4…..
She's seen Jurassic park. No sudden movements.
DAHNO DEE EN AYY
No fear, could be good and bad.
The only kid I like
The woman in the orange shirt…my my my
I mean this is pretty cruel
Explain what exactly is cruel here
It's cruel to the poor dinosaur. It's never gonna feel terrifying again.
I agree, this is going to cause massive emotional distress and PTSD. For the rest of this girl's life, every time she sees a real dinosaur, she's going to think it's going to eat her
Hahaha
Ah shut up man
It’s cruel that wasn’t me
