I was craving pizza today so I decided to order for everyone in the family. Look, I’ve really bad social anxiety (so bad that at this point of life, I have no friends. People try to become my friends but I avoid them to avoid social interaction)
I told them (my family) to pick up the confirmation call for me as I was doing serious work (a lie to save myself from picking up the call).
But then the dreadful call came, and my grandpa couldn’t find his glasses and everyone else just wasn’t there to pick it up. I felt so anxious and picked it up for him and told him to talk because I need to go back to work asap (I know it’s like only two seconds but still)
But the call got hung up by him mistakingly. I was so annoyed. I hoped they wouldn’t call again and just deliver the damned pizza.
It came again. And my grandpa knocked at my room.
I opened it with such dread that it felt like I was picking up the devil’s call.
He put it next to my ear and stared at me talk. I hate him for doing that. I didn’t know how to talk. But I tried my best. So this guy on phone starts saying some b******* about registered phone number and pizza tracking stuff and he’s spitting everything so fast that I’m unable to understand anything. When he asks if I understood I just said yes because I didn’t want to look dumb.
And then he added a few more details with double speed and my head was spinning. He wasn’t really rude, rather spoke kindly and asked me several questions. Which is the worst part. Because I didn’t understand anything at all. So he paused and waited for my answer.
I just hung up.
