Really, I'm not. I mean sure, I can be silly and whatnot, but if you're trying to have fun by scaring me, it just won't work. Seriously. Example:
Just a few minutes ago, I was sitting at my desk at work, when someone walks in the door just in my peripheral vision. I glanced at him and saw that he was wearing a very realistic and super creepy mask. I didn't know who it was at first. But all I did was glance, and register that the mask was creepy. No jump, gasp, or "eek!" from me! I could tell he was disappointed, as he was carrying a tiny camera, hoping to receive the same reaction he had from the other people he walked in on.
That's just one example.
Another time, while working at Chick-fil-A, I was asked to go see if an employee was in the back. When I walked back, all I saw were boxes. Then, suddenly, the girl pops out of one of the boxes and yells. Again, I didn't even flinch.
It's really weird!
And it happens a lot! People try and come up behind me and grab my shoulders and spook me, but it doesn't work. And this is not me trying to say that I'm not afraid of anything, because I am! Stick a ventriloquist dummy in a room and I'll avoid that room like the plague! It's just like, my body doesn't know how to react to the other stuff. It's almost like I don't register those things properly.
I don't know what this has to do with anything, but it just happened and I thought it was really odd.
It's not just scary stuff either. Last year, for my birthday, a bunch of people from my church threw me a surprise party. I had absolutely no idea. None whatsoever. But when I walked in, I wasn't surprised. I was just like, "Oh hey, this is nice!" I felt bad for not giving everyone the reaction they were hoping for, but it just didn't happen!
Any ideas of what this means?
AM I A ROBOT?!?!?!?!?
