I would have swapped the titles' order, but it seemed to make the concept too obvious. Distort your own time! In the movies, there's sometimes a person who works a lot. Their family tries to involve them more with activities, get them off the phone or to avoid meetings. Sometimes if it's a dramatic plot, you'll hear "Your just working all the time to avoid your family and the people who care about you." Sometimes I feel like that, not like the person (because a. they aren't real and, b. no one tells me that) but I feel like I'm avoiding people. Here's the thing (and it sounds weird) It's not on purpose, but it is a choice.  I don't mean to avoid anyone or make them feel I don't care about what they are doing. I could pay attention to everyone, remember birthdays, second and third tier holidays, but I don't choose to take that time. I'm using my time for other things, and I think that's okay.
