I'm weird.
So I live in an in-law apartment. which means that I share part of my living area with a family in a house. My room exits into their garage. I have this thing, where I can’t exit my room if I know that someone is in the garage. I just feel awkward about it. But every time I know that someone is in the garage, I get this feeling of being trapped, that makes me want to leave… it’s...
