because... from where i am... working my way out is hard.
i don't come armed with friends, so i am at the mercy of shop assistants. or at the mercy of myself.
so lets take something simple (that i feel like i'm fairly opinionated / authorative when it comes to me) about...
i can take my chances... and try on most things in the store. i mean... i have a criterion alarm... but what is it telling me? especially with respect to what is on the market now days?
or i can try and recruit a shop assistant. which... given my social skills... is likely to result in a harming rather than a helping situation. a 'i'm laughing at you rather than with you' social situation. since they will try the happy puppy thing (presenting me with something they pretend to approve of in order to see where i draw the line on approval and start to make fun of / mock) which... gives them important information. which is bizzarre... since i'd typically been supressing my natural inclincation to make fun of / mock all alone...
so.. i could take friends... which is awkward about now. or i could recruit shop assistants. which is similarly awkward about now. or i could... trust my judgement. which i'm typically fond of. only... that takes time and effort. to try a huge f*ck*ng vast number of things on in the effort to figure out what is really important to me... (all while shop assistants mock since i dismiss them...)
or... i could spend that time... looking at smart phones...
sigh.
i'm sure there is supposed to be some sort of kind of balance.
