I always had a hard time telling if people were trying to talk to me, which is especially frustrating because you can’t safely err on either side. You always respond back, lots of intensely awkward and humiliating interactions with people having to explain they weren’t talking to you. You stay quiet and wait for a clearer signal, some people will get offended and angry because they think you’re purposely ignoring and insulting them somehow.
