I go to the same bar. I find it comforting. The people ignore me for the most part, but not this last time. Attractive people were flirting with me, and trying to make normal conversation.

I tried to play pool, but my knees shook so bad I could barely stand. I want to be normal. I want to act like them, but it is not possible.
