When I am in a corner deliberately

Hi, my name is Tryphena.
My talents include redirecting conversation topics to food 
and making people feel uncomfortable with my probing questions about their life.
I am not here to meet people, 
Notice how I am standing in the corner,
avoiding contact with everyone else at all costs.
I am simply here because I am supposed to
or I'm doing a favor for a friend.

I do not wish to participate in your discussion of the weather,
or the debate of whether the iPhone 6 bends "for real".
We have two seasons, raining and hell.
It is not rocket science
and definitely not a good ice breaker.
Oh, did you know it rained today?
OH MY GOD, REALLY?
and here's a tip,
don't bend anything that is not supposed to be bended.

Don't get me wrong, 
I am a nice person but
if I am in the corner deliberately and you invade that space,
you better have interesting things to say. 
I am in this corner for a reason.
If small talk is the only thing that you've got,
don't take offense when I make an excuse to go to the toilet and never come back.

I would usually stay and chat but 
if I am in a corner, people watching, 
please leave me alone.
Unless you've come to join me in judging people by their covers for fun,
then by all means.

"fine".

hey, how are you?
No, I'm good.
No, really. I'll be fine.
Yeah, it's only depression.
No biggie.
Everything hurts
and it's hard to breathe sometimes
but yeah, 
no biggie.
