Hello, Who Are You?

Describe yourself to a stranger.  What do you say?

I'm not sure what I say.  I used to know.  But now I'm not so sure. 

I used to focus on my interests; my work, my free time, what I liked to do.  So much of that has changed.  I don't know who they're meeting. 

It's a difficult circumstance, meeting new people.  Do I avoid the elephant in the room and hope they don't notice or do I bring it up and watch the room fall silent?  Usually I avoid it, because no matter what they might be thinking, strangers rarely ask "What's wrong with you?"  

Maybe they ask someone else.  I don't know.
