Which do you prefer? Do you like going to a place where everyone recognizes you (say on campus, in a coffee shop, a restaurant) or do you like hiding away in the crowd?
I definitely fall into the latter category. It bothers the hell out of me that my dad has always had certain set of places that he frequents often. When I'm there with him, I always feel super self-conscious and like they know my habits and things (which I like to keep weirdly secret in public).
Also, I used to go to a university that had a relatively small, tight knit campus. It used to make me feel really awkward because I would always see people who were vague acquaintances at some point and I have no idea how to deal with that (except ignore them - and that can give off the wrong signals).
