... that "weird thought process" - is just a flight and or / fight response. Everybody gets those.

I think about them as those guys not using their first names until I feel like I know them a little better. This way it is not personal and I don't lose anything if they come around or don't. Also with SA anxiety everything is noticable and analyzed, for me thinking on impersonal terms makes it easier to analyze less.

[darelief]

I know what you mean. It is hard sometimes especially when you feel like that, but they'll come around. Remind yourself also is that you doing what you want to do. The thing that worked for me in this type of situation because every job I had, took me a long time to get to know other people on just a friendly level. what helped me is to look at them from an impersonal point of view.

Yeah hopefully they don't. I'm not even quite sure why they would. But this sort of thought procces with SA or wherever it came from is anything but rational, I guess. Ah well. Fortunately that mood has passed at this point. Perhaps it was more or less coming from being tired last night.
