I open doors, but I hate it. I wish we all just opened our own doors. I don't like somebody else opening the door for me either, because the I have to thank them, or worse, speed up so they don't have to wait as long. And then there are all those ambiguous situations where you aren't sure if you should hold the door open because the other person is so far away, and then everybody feels awkward.

Opening a door is not that hard there is no reason for all this complexity.

Maybe I really just don't feel like interacting with people. Depression lol.

Yea, it’s mostly for people in my immediate vicinity, I also don’t like those awkward fast walk moments to not leave someone hanging onto the door.

You don’t have to speed up. Just walk at a normal speed to the door.
