i'm apparently one of those people to a lot of people... i've had a couple of interesting threads in my journal about it: here's one, here's the other...
(also, hence my journal name "unintentionally intimidating"...)
yeah, i was talking with someone about this recently... i have trouble knowing what to say to people sometimes to make conversation, even though i want to connect. So i kind of sit in awkward silence, occasionally go "glub" and wander off, or smile lamely. Others do this too and have found themselves thought of as stuck up or disdainful.
1) Really everyone is their own worst enemy 2) Never put down to malice what can be explained by lameness 3) Everyone is too busy dealing with their own shit (see #1) to take that much of a dislike to you
I take exception to number three, actually—there are plenty of people who will take time out from their own shit to take a strong dislike to people. Usually the people who have the most of it to deal with, unsurprisingly enough.
