Unless I tell them to turn the doorknob and pull it toward themselves to open it, they won’t even touch that door at all.

 When I don’t write “Will you be my friend?”, none of them come near me. Unless I tell them to turn the doorknob and pull it toward themselves to open it, they won’t even touch that door at all. But when I do write “Will you be my friend?” and they come close, then I don’t want those who can fall into such a trap or be captivated by such superficiality. All forms of open invitation themselves risk attracting the very kind of interaction I disdain. So what will happen? An endless seclusion.
