Yes loud mouths & drunks for sure.

I don’t really avoid anyone, there are people who I know can be ‘tricky’ but it’s not difficult to mitigate their behaviour.

Loud mouthed, opinionated racists and bigots.

Men when out at night, and pretty soon it won’t need to be night when it becomes dark.

Why?
They’re not all muggers and rapists.confused

I meet a lot of people on my walks and there's one or two I try to avoid as they let their dogs jump up on me.
I have an arthritic hip that could be unstable so if I can I go another way.

Smart arses who are also very negative. Not many people,though. Most who have reached my age have learnt to get on with people and be warm and friendly. I can only think of one person who I avoid. She is awful and I don’t think I am alone in avoiding her.

I don’t think I avoid anyone really, but sometimes my heart does sink when a somebody says ‘oh you’ll like him/ her they’re a real character’ 😬

It sometimes takes me a while to realise that any conversation is going to be strictly one way ie the other person is only looking for an audience.

Anyone loud.

I saw this thread on Twitter and it got me thinking. I suppose that I tend to avoid loud people. That's just an instinctive reaction. I'm sure there are other more subtle reasons though.
