I don't watch TV at all. I just read to my kids, take care of my old mother (bank, post office, dollar store) and play daily. I'm also focusing on my dreams finally.. business ideas .. self improvement) * I don't visit people's houses at all. I don't talk to kids at all anymore.(They could say something..and boom I get in trouble) I don't call anybody/ not even my nieces and nephews. If a kid approaches my kid at the park I move 20 feet away while they play soccer. I don't look at people's eyes anymore. I don't greet people first at all. I do smile while at my kids' school functions. * I let the wife deal with "people". (I rarely answer the phone) * I am a voluntary mute now .. I don't want to be but I have to be in order to protect myself. One boy followed me around the schoolyard.. I turned around and told him I was a stranger and that I was an adult and not allowed to talk to him unless his mom or dad were present. He said, "I know you. You are so-and-so's dad." (I wanted to hug him and tell him I loved him.. but "free speech" is not permitted.. and I would only lower his self-defensiveness by letting him talk to me, a "stranger") * I feel terrible when I see a "7?" year old girl walking home alone in a deserted road while I pass by in my car.. I feel the urge to pull over and give her a ride home.. or to abandon my car there and "walk her home" but then I am a stranger. Ps. I don’t watch TV at all.
