:vanora_xd:
wheeze

So my front door doesn't have a peep hole
it has this window on the top part of the door that is my very non-discrete way of checking for persons.
But my height is just below the window so like... you don't see me comin' til my face pops up like HI
Usually I don't do this if I THINK there's a person standing there, so having this bearded man staring directly back at me gave us both such a startle

I laughed, apologized and thanked him. he didn't react much, went on his way down the front steps.
Turns the corner of my house
AND MY DAD IS STANDING RIGHT THERE
startles this man AGAIN

I'm so sorry sir my family is just like this :vanora_xd:

Omg poor guy, just wanted to deliver your mail and got startled twice lol
I tend to do the same thing to literally everyone I live with - despite my overall weight, I walk REALLY quietly, so most people don't hear me coming up until I say something LOL

@0v7:
Lmao yeah I tend to move around quietly, and I'm short, so people get startled by me too.
But I also startle very easily so it tends to go both ways. I've had a few instances at jobs where me and a coworker just AHH at each other in sync :vanora_xd:

@Jolly: omg hfdhsfsd
I don't tend to startle easy thankfully >w> I'm good at telling where ppl are based on sound - tho the exception is when I'm asleep. I startle awake VERY easily hahaha

@0v7:
I blame it on my adhd 8D
I get hyper focused on anything I'm doing, or sometimes just my thoughts, and it tends to kinda shut down my peripheral vision/sounds
and then poof

but then like, even if I expect a sound, if its loud I'll jump anyways >>

@Jolly: Me too!! I'm usually zoned into a task, but just enough that I'm still pretty aware of my surroundings/where other people are!! Best of both worlds :3

@Jolly: It helps to train your peripheral vision!! That way things can't sneak up on you as bad :3

@0v7:
Yeah, I should probably look into that. xD
It'd be healthy to not have multiple heart attacks a week, I'm sure. BUT ALSO people can stop appearing around corners suddenly or standing on the other side of a door when I open it because I mean--this happens a lot :vanora_xd:

@Jolly: For me, training my peripheral vision was pretty easy once I got the general concept down of like, broadening my vision without moving my eyes!!
