[Faith-talk] {Spam?} Re: autism, healing and whatever else...

I finally realized that for all I know she may have her own disability that 
makes her unable to cope with not being able to make eye contact with 
someone. It would have made a bigger scene socially for me to argue with her 
about my personal space and hurt her feelings than to spend a few minutes 
being uncomfortable in order to have a conversation. And since I'm often 
unhappy about people not taking time to talk to me, I chose to be 
uncomfortable :)
