>>8578687given how nice people are to me, it does makes me feel like im some sort of retard. They also stare at me or make quick glances, making me feel really self conscious.
But it's the obvious shit that makes me realize they're not feeling sorry for me and patronizing me.
They never talk with my brother, except to give him the scripted employee questions. They always seek me out and not him.
Girl employees tell me that really friendly employee who is easier to talk with has a BF and i should talk with her instead, and another employee saying she's so much younger looking (why!?) than really-friendly-employee-who-likes-talking-about-herself who is so over the hill at 20. ... i have at least a dozen stories about female employees being bitches to other female employees who are smiles and laughs when together.
Then there's all the times i actually groomed myself, usually after a haircut, where i've gotten squeals, growls, and stunned silent look (i have no clue what that look meant but here's the closest one i could find that fit her expression. i avoided that worker that day because what was that and i never saw her again) from various acquaintances and friendly female employees. 99% of the time i'm just a jeans and tshirt kind of guy, who only lets his too long hair air dry as his only style.
nevermind i've actually gone out with a couple of these random retail girls, which made me swear off college aged girls.
