I’m a huge fan of the Hyperbole and a Half site and this made ROFLMAO.

One of the most difficult aspects of interacting with other people is figuring out how to extricate yourself from a conversation without appearing rude or mentally unstable. You aren’t allowed to just walk away – you need to have a reason to stop talking. And the reason can’t be that you want to stop talking. You need to find a way to end the conversation without making it s

eem like you want the conversation to end.

This unspoken set of rules can turn an otherwise rational person into a flailing, helpless victim in a sea of self-perpetuated social anxiety.
It’s like we’re all competing in a game that no one wants to play.  And even though you can’t ever win the game, you can prevent yourself from losing by pretending that you like playing long enough to be allowed to stop playing.
