Twitter's 'Extreme Ways To Avoid People' Will Inspire You

by Kate Ryan

It happens to all of us. Some days you feel like engaging with humanity, while other days seem like a horror show straight out of "The Walking Dead." I've been there many a time. I've spent an entire day in sweats binging on "Real Housewives" (like, all the housewives) and I'm only mildly ashamed of it. Another time, a gorgeous man with a French accent politely asked me what my name was and I said, "No." Just no.

Twitter's latest trending hashtag, #ExtremeWaysToAvoidPeople, may be the gateway for some of us to bring our inner introvert out of the closet. Anti-human apps like Seamless, Postmates and Cloak suggest there are many of us out there.

As for tweets, you could blow the rest of your afternoon scrolling through all of them. Good thing I've already done that for you.

Here's a good one if you already happen to have face paint and a striped sweater.
