If it so happens my presence causes discomfort, all I can do is this.
"I'm sorry."
Other than that, there's nothing else I can do. There's nothing else anyone can really do, for that matter.
I've been in a situation like this where the place I go to has someone that makes me feel uncomfortable, yet it is an important place. For example, school. Classrooms. Training hall.
But what can he/she do? Leave the place just to please you?
It doesn't work that way, especially if he/she has a greater purpose in mind. He/she is there to study, to get a good education. To make friends and have fun for him/herself. To become a better athlete.
And I go to where I go because of a greater purpose. If someone finds my presence a nuisance...Frankly speaking, that's too bad, because they could be missing out on their greater purpose.
It's a musing that has nested for quite a while, and I thought it would be nice to at least reveal the possible closure I have on such an issue.
I've gone the Doubting Thomas route before.
And I most certainly hope no one else walks that as well, just because of one or two people.

Hospitality.
If some don't show it to you, doesn't mean you shouldn't show it to them.
I think that's rather important, especially when there are people you want to talk to, but find it extremely difficult to communicate with - Always making sure your focus is there on what is 'true' of you.
