Before you start
The 5 possible results
Every answer nudges you toward one of these. Here is what each one means.
Your ick is trying too hard
Effort visible on the surface finishes it for you. The rehearsed line, the curated version, the calculated calm: the moment you can see the work, the spell breaks.
Your ick is no self-awareness
You cannot come back from someone not knowing how they are landing. The story told for the third time, the missed cue, the conversation that ended ten minutes ago: it is not the behaviour that gets you, it is the absence of anyone home noticing it.
Your ick is how they treat people
Yours is the respectable one. Short with a waiter, dismissive to someone quieter, sharp about a friend who is not there, and it is finished, regardless of how they treat you.
Your ick is helplessness
Capability is the thing for you. Someone who cannot decide, cannot handle a small problem, and hands every choice back to you loses you fast.
Your ick is secondhand embarrassment
You feel other people's exposure in your own body, and the moment someone is visibly uncool in public, something in you closes. This is the most irrational category and you know it: most of what triggers it is just someone being unselfconscious in front of you, which is arguably the point of being close to anyone.
