You know how sometimes we will cross the road rather than have to catch the eye of someone we don't like talking to. There is a lot to be said for holding your head high & maintaining dignified silence.

Of course, I'm the exception as I never act like this because I suffer badly with the propensity to be curious. Begorrah!

I hope I never ignore somebody consciously, though I realise I sometimes do it. I just look at a crowd of people and miss a friend in the crowd. Or I see posts that may require an answer from me, but just forget to answer one or two.

We all do it, I suspect. I just try again the following day as if nothing untoward has happened. I honestly can't think of anybody who I would want to go away for ever - I have never met anybody who has not enriched my life in some way.
