What makes you nervous?
Even though I’m quite a reserved person,
there are some things that give birth to nervousness within me….
Being the person that I am,
I’m not that open to new experiences and if I want to experience new ones,
it feels like my mind already has planned all of the outcomes even before I am to undergo the “Said” experience…
For example;
I once went to a theatrical play and I was running late,
I had a fixed seat which I booked a few weeks in advance.
On reaching there a little late,
the host had already opened with the introductions.
…….
As I entered and looked for my seat and saw someone else sitting in mine,
on telling them this was my seat,
He told me he had a seat in the middle somewhere which he booked outside the hall,
can I take that one..?
On telling him that I couldn’t
because I booked this seat weeks prior and I will sit here;
Nervousness creeped in
as he didn’t get up even after asking politely,
and after that in a stern voice,
after a few moments the staff came in as he stated to raise his voice against me.
Knowing this was a public place,
and they reserved the right for our admission,
as I showed them the ticket and he was politely told to go to his seat,
which he refused.
On pausing the play for a moment all the lights were lit,
and the said person was told to move to his seat or to be escorted out of the venue by security.
The smug look on his face now wiped clean as he murmured something in his mouth and squeezed himself to his seat in the middle..
That thing made me quite nervous.
But thankfully I booked in advance and the staff were really helpful…!
Overall,
A good day that was.
Apart from me losing my sh|t there.
Cheers 🥂
