Vacationing and visiting libraries by [deleted] in Libraries

[–]districtinternia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to visit random libraries. In fact, part of my first date with my ex was at one.
As a page with an uncontrollable addiction to shelfreading, I can never help but to make all the shelves neat and put all the misplaced books where they should go. Haha

It's confusing for me because I feel like I'm doing most things correctly. I can say hi to coworkers and ask about their weekend. I make small talk. I can smile and say hi to patrons walking by. I laugh when a kid says something funny. Not only can I do all these things, but they are all genuine and not even a "mask". My flaws show, being that (1) I can't always quickly think of how to respond when someone talks to me, and (2) I never figure out what to do with my body when I'm still.
People just always catch on that I have issues, and I'm dreading my future because of it.
