Closed. I do not want to be there so I pretend I’m not. Can’t stand the smell or the sounds. But I go because I must😔

I try to stare right in their eyes

Closed, but not out of fear. Just kinda awkward to just stare. This included my wisdom teeth removal. I chose to get numbed instead of going under.
