| Yeah it makes total sense. And purpledragonflies I was acting since I started since the start of high school. To an extent I still am.

| being big didn't save me from the verbal abuse and threats. once a bully, always a bully, I have found. there is not a hell hot enough for those irredeemable sociopaths. :x Be comforted that bullies tend to go to jail when they grow up. :) I personally don't want bad things to happen to my bullies.... |

| I've had people misinterpret me a lot. There was one time that I was working doing grounds maintenance at a location that had a bunch of parking lots together. There was a guy who was trying to make a move on me. I told him that I will be friends with him but that's it. He tried to charm me for wee... |

| I was accused of staring at people a lot as a kid. I would just zone-out & daydream partly due to AD[H]D & probably stress & I would get accused of staring cuz my head was facing someone. I also have a rare low vision disorder & I sometimes don't look at things directly maybe partly... |

| Oh, I was just worried that I came off pompous or something. If I only talk when I have something relevant to say, then I am pretty much going to be silent 98% of the time. It is weird that being quiet is thought of as sneaky or like there's some bad intent there. But really I'm just daydreaming alot |

| You've made some interesting points. Its weird, mostly I'm pretty quiet. But people don't seem to like that either, haha. Most bosses and coworkers comment on it constantly, like its a bad thing. Like, WHY DON'T YOU TALK MORE! But yes, I've been trying to be more relevant with my conversations, and ... |

| I guess this is a vague topic, but I feel like it took almost 30 years for me to understand socializing at all. In the past couple years, i've made leaps and bounds. I guess before that, I was totally oblivious as to when I was staring at people or just being "weird" (in their opinion). It... |
