3. When there are more than six people, they take all my oxygen and I can’t breathe.

4. I need to beat my personal record for most-watched episodes on Netflix in one day.

5. I got lunch with someone earlier – my social quota is filled for the day.

6. I met someone online yesterday… doesn’t that count?

7. I donated all my clothes to charity and have nothing to wear. It really sucks being a good person sometimes.

8. I’m afraid people will be intimidated by how awesome I am and won’t talk to me.
