Leave Me Alone!!

I prefer eating alone at work. I often wait for all the people to finish eating in our pantry before I take my turn to eat. I enjoy staying alone in the dim light of the pantry with nothing but the airconditioning humming in the background. Every once in a while people enter the pantry to do their dishes. While they are in there I chant in my head, "Please don't talk to me....Please don't talk to me....Please don't talk to me....Please don't talk to me." I sigh in relief if they don't utter a word. I don't like people asking what I am eating or commenting on what I am eating. It just ruins the moment. The moment I so patiently waited for to eat alone. I don't exactly know why, but I prefer it that way. When they ask me anything while I am eating, i just answer casually with the shortest answer i could give.The only time I really entertain a conversation is when I am with the people I am comfortable with.
When things get a bit rowdy (when more than one person enters the pantry and they decide to have a conversation and laugh....etc.) I chant to myself, "LEAVE ME ALONE!....LEAVE ME ALONE!....LEAVE ME ALONE!....LEAVE ME ALONE!....LEAVE ME ALONE!....LEAVE ME ALONE!....LEAVE ME ALONE!....LEAVE ME ALONE!....LEAVE ME ALONE!....LEAVE ME ALONE!....LEAVE ME ALONE!....LEAVE ME ALONE!....LEAVE ME ALONE!....." until they eventually leave. Unknown to them they have ruined my lunch break. So, i finish up as fast as I can to avoid further disturbances. If I couldn't wait for the people in the pantry to finish, I just eat at my desk. Then again, even at my desk, people still bother me while eating.
I also chant, "LEAVE ME ALONE!" when i don't want to talk to anyone and they are constantly asking me questions about whether or not i ate already. I also want to be left alone when I watch my anime during lunch break. So please.....LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!!

    Hahaha... There's actually two ways of commenting at this and I can't help but say it. Sorry kuya. First is I actually imagine you immediately chanting "Please don't talk to me..." the moment someone enters. Like some gag show. And it would really give me the laughs. Hahahaha...
    Second, I really sympathize with you. We all need to have time to spend alone and lunch breaks are probably the only time during the long work hour to do it. Although personally, I'd come to work an hour or half an hour early to be at peace. I'd be stuck in my corner with all the lights off. No one arrives as early as 8 am where I work. So it's hey day for me to watch anime or just read and be at peace. We all need it. But don't discount the fact that we also need to interact with other people we hardly know once in a while. Some may sometimes throw rude jokes (for me it's most of the time during lunch time) but it's sometimes fun to laugh along at your own mistakes and see how funny it really is. Never the less, I do hope that does not apply during lunch times at church? I really hope not.

    Dont worry Worthy. This is only applicable in the office. Like i said, "I really entertain a conversation is when I am with the people I am comfortable with." And i am comfortable with the youth of the church. Its just in the office that i want to be left alone. All i want is my time during lunch...then they can bug me all they want during the work hours.
