Maybe it’s the resting bitch face. Maybe it’s the lack of brows. Maybe it’s the dark eye circles and lack of life on my face.
More often than not, I’m afraid of other people more than they should be afraid… of me.
(People also tend to assume I don’t care, or worse still, I’m aloof. Gotten comments on my personality from people that have had 0 interaction with me. People also assume I’m an extrovert which I am definitely not.)

I’m very direct. People meet me for the first time and just assume I’m this angry person, but I‘m a get straight to the point type of guy. I just want to see where you coming from, you know? But when you actually get to know me I’m a decent guy. Always willing to help the homies out and I try my best to come from a place of love. It’s probably my face too. Everyone in my family has these very intense resting bitch faces. I don’t mean it, face just set up that way

In the past people have seemed to perceive me as aloof and standoffish to the point of being arrogant because I didn’t go out of my way to appear friendly in my body language and facial expressions and I’m fairly good looking. In practice this was unknowingly a form of arrogance and I do try to put people at ease and connect with them whenever I can.
sometimes when I’m around new people I get nervous and my brain short circuits and I just smile and laugh nervously and say things like ‘wow that’s crazy.’ so to some (especially very serious academic scientists or business professionals) I can come off as being a little dim-witted initially, while others have indicated that they see me as sweet/girlish/a little flirty.
I think if I start getting comfortable with people and show the wisecracking raunchier side of my personality and dark sense of humor it can be shocking once they discover that deep down I’m a gravely serious person. People will always have their own preconceived notions of you to some degree and who can ever truly be known…

This lethal combo means I seem like I don’t like people and it really gets in the way of making friend since I’m shy when I don’t know people.
On the plus side! It keeps people away from me - I don’t like a big circle and I really dislike people who act closer to me than they are or don’t consider boundaries.
And when I find my people it’s a great and genuine yapathon, instead of being exhaustingly “polite in company”

With the checkerboard at the back? That’s right. I love using them unironically. And I love pictures of rocks.

And you’re set for life (with the added effort of maintaining it).
I used to try to surround myself with people who I thought were cool and also tried so bad to fit in. I still do feel conscious about that sometimes when I front for a person I place on a pedestal or really am infatuated with (in a platonic way).
I’ve also had friends I get easily frustrated with who point out my mistakes as jokes but I’ve realised are super flawed and insecure. It becomes a relationship where you slowly turn into a projection of them. (I’m not sure how to phrase it). And I’m the kind that forgives very easily the moment someone is nice to me.
Howeverrrrr… over the past few years and more so over the past year I found a group of people I could be open and comfortable with… and I have to say an open and fulfilling relationship with the right people and friends will make you a much better person overall. I’ve also been so inspired by the circle of friends I’ve got now.
It’s not necessarily the friends who always ask you to go out to shop or hang but the friends who you do things with and talk about anything with.
Gratefully & Gratituously, I love my friends.
