I think I am a very insecure person. Everytime I bump into my friend in the street, the first thing I would say is: I am waiting for my friend / I came with my friend or anything else that indicates that I am not alone. Of course I don't lie about being with a friend if I am alone. Sigh, I don't know why I am bringing this up either and why I notice my insecurity only now. Maybe I am just trying to get myself into a writing mood. *shrugs*
