Now I've left uni, I've found that other people are the last people I want to be talking to. Other people are bad news - they have problems that they seek to make your problems. And work they seek to make your work. And terrible, disturbing neuroses that they just want you to gaze into the gaping maw of and lose the will to live so that they can suck the essence of your soul to replenish what life force they have left after THEIR encounters with strangers.

How can I get this to stop?
