I’m autistic. Conversations are difficult enough that I usually don’t bother and then it’s ’he’s so quiet whats wrong with him’. Damned if I do and if I don’t.
I especially avoid the ones who try to tell me about a dream they had when they were five years old and a fairy was trying to change their astrological sign because a rabbit had eaten too many carrots … … … …
Nice thing about getting older is you can interrupt a babbling man with beseeching eyes and say, “Sorry, but I really must visit the ladies room. Now.” If it’s a woman, say “I think there’s something in your teeth” and flee while they’re groping around with a fingernail.

Misery loves company.
However, company usually shuns misery when it can.

Don’t ask “How are you?” if you don’t want to know.

Not the usual energy-sucking vampires, but it would make for an interesting movie.
