Today, I had to say goodbye to my long distance boyfriend at the airport. I was feeling upset after dropping him off, so I started crying on the bus back home. A lady then decided to sit next to me and talk nonstop for the entire ride. I had to pretend everything was okay. FML

In this sort of situation I would try to assert myself and tell the other person "I'm sorry, I'm dealing with a lot right now and I'm not in the mood to talk." You might piss the other person off but you'll probably never see them again anyway. It can be hard to be assertive when you're upset though, so sometimes it's just unavoidable. I wish some people were better at realizing when others want to be left alone.
