And trust me, people can TELL by my body language that I want to be left alone. They can tell from a mile away. I have a frigid "do not approach me, leave me alone" kind of vibe. And I like it that way.

People irritate me. I don't have the energy to open up a laptop when I'm around people who irritate me just for their sake. That's like giving them too much of me. They get nothing.
