How do we escape the annoying person trap? I will give you an example. I was going to walk out of an AA meeting the other night, and this guy comes up to talk to me. He is always excited to see me, always wants to talk to me and I feel like, "Oh, not this guy again."

I was trying to talk to someone else and he comes up, and therefore, it is like either I try to dismiss him somehow and be rude, or talk to him.
So, I manage on this particular occasion to kind of dismiss him, like, "Come on, I got someone else I want to go talk to."
I get to talk to the other person and suddenly I'm on the receiving end to what I just did. I'm the annoying person that they feel like, "Oh, God, he wants to talk to me again. It's him."
And then, I see what I just did.
I thought, "Oh, my God. He is really excited and wanting to talk to me and I'm not interested in talking to him because I want to go talk to someone else."
Then, I get to talk to them and the same thing on the other end and I realize, why did I do that?
Why did I just blow him off, then want to go talk to someone else, and then they blow me off and I get annoyed?
I said, "Hold up. Wait a minute. This is dumb right now. Why am I here? Especially in an AA meeting. Why am I here to start with?"
"I'm here to help people and that doesn't mean I'm there to help specific people."
