![Escape the Annoying Person Trap!](https://jerrybanfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/bp63-00th.jpg) How do we escape the annoying person trap? I will give you an example. I was going to walk out of an *AA* meeting the other night, and this guy comes up to talk to me. He is always excited to see me, always wants to talk to me and I feel like, *"Oh, not this guy again."* ## Escape the Annoying Person Trap!

It's him."* ![Escape the Annoying Person Trap!](https://jerrybanfield.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/bp63-01.jpg) And then, I see what I just did. I thought, *"Oh, my God. He is really excited and wanting to talk to me and I'm not interested in talking to him because I want to go talk to someone else."* Then, I get to talk to them and the same thing on the other end and I realize, why did I do that? Why did I just blow him off, then want to go talk to someone else, and then they blow me off and I get annoyed? I said, *"Hold up. Wait a minute. This is dumb right now. Why am I here?
